About the 2002-03 Officials
The 2002-03 officiating roster represents an interesting transition
between generations of NBA referees. Longtime officials including
Dick Bavetta, Jess Kersey, Joe Crawford and Hue Hollins were still
working games, while several referees who would remain familiar
figures in the NBA for many years were already part of the staff.
Among them were Scott Foster (#48), Tony Brothers (#56), Monty
McCutchen (#58), Courtney Kirkland (#61), Marc Davis (#64) and
Ed Malloy (#73). The season-by-season listings are useful because
referee uniform numbers and the composition of the officiating staff
changed over time.
Names and uniform numbers are presented according to the historical
NBAHoopsOnline referee archive.
