Mr Referee

Musings of the worst Basketball referee ever.

[Mr Referee @WorstRefEvr]

Getting a late start to the 2025-26 thread, changed day jobs & that's been a huge distraction from ball.

[Mr Referee @WorstRefEvr]

@TitusXpullo @SportsSturm Learn ball bro. No arm extension on the contact & that's not even a travel in high school.

[Mr Referee @WorstRefEvr]

@JohnCornyn Basketball has never been a non-contact sport.

[Mr Referee @WorstRefEvr]

@NickVanExit And Harden traveled so, so much.

[Mr Referee @WorstRefEvr]

@SamHumphreys34 He wanted that tech & he got it

[Mr Referee @WorstRefEvr]

@Hoopss Like I need to change my username

[Mr Referee @WorstRefEvr]

@517to214 @squish41 No, but Tony Brothers can disappear from the Finals assignments.

[Mr Referee @WorstRefEvr]

@squish41 Idk about his eternal soul, but that play should cost this crew any Finals assignments. That just shouldn't happen. Like, even I would've checked to see if SA wanted to challenge.

[Mr Referee @WorstRefEvr]

@SarksDaddy Uh, bro y'all have an NFL linebacker starting. https://t.co/8ijR2V8Gvk

[House of Lowlights @HouseLowlights]

Average closeout by Lu Dort.

[Mr Referee @WorstRefEvr]

@OKSTBourbonBro Lets compare closeouts https://t.co/8ijR2V8Gvk

[House of Lowlights @HouseLowlights]

Average closeout by Lu Dort.

[Mr Referee @WorstRefEvr]

@SirRobertBuford @squish41 Finch was in the wrong & good for Brothers for not backing down.
You're 💯 right about why Wemby through the elbow though.

[Mr Referee @WorstRefEvr]

Thinking about picking up some AAU games this summer. Camp wasn't productive for me last year because I went in out of that ref mindset after too much time off.

[Mr Referee @WorstRefEvr]

@OfficialChipC Well, I learned something. There's a lower box that delineates whether continuation is granted after gather or upward shooting motion in the NBA.

[Mr Referee @WorstRefEvr]

@TheSteinLine This a great thing because, let me tell ya, nothing is more exciting in a basketball game than free throws.

[Mr Referee @WorstRefEvr]

@OfficialNBARefs Y'all see/hear this, "...NBA-specific rule..."
Get off my case when I call traveling in high school games.

[Mr Referee @WorstRefEvr]

@conorsen @Zigmanfreud Accuracy for balls & strikes is better for the game. Humiliating the umpire is not.
Go to the ABS system 100% of the time & have the home ump there for plays at the plate & fouls.

[Mr Referee @WorstRefEvr]

@CoachHallNTF @OfficialChipC Here's a good breakdown of the play & mention of the rule in question.

@AyersRefTracker 💯 It happens to the best of us even when hustling our butts off to be in position.

[Mr Referee @WorstRefEvr]

@TcuScouting A ref is the reason your team only scored 8 points through the last 9 minutes of the game?

[Mr Referee @WorstRefEvr]

@BetmanBetz Yeah, we should have refs in their mid-twenties with 3 years of experience calling the NCAA tournament so they can keep up.
