About the 2009-10 Officials
The 2009-10 NBA referee roster represents another stage in the
transition between generations of league officials. Veteran
referees Dick Bavetta (#27), Joe Crawford (#17), Steve Javie
(#29), Dan Crawford (#43), Bennett Salvatore (#15), Eddie F.
Rush (#32) and Mike Callahan (#24) remained part of the staff.
The roster also included Scott Foster (#48), Tony Brothers (#25),
Monty McCutchen (#13), Marc Davis (#34), Bill Kennedy (#55),
Zach Zarba (#58), Courtney Kirkland (#61), Ed Malloy (#73),
John Goble (#67), Brian Forte (#62) and Pat Fraher (#52).
Marat Kogut appears as #68 and Kane Fitzgerald as #77 on the
2009-10 list. Curtis Blair is listed as #74, Eric Dalen as #75
and former NBA player Haywood Workman as #66. Violet Palmer
continued to officiate as #12, while former NBA player Leon Wood
was listed as #40.
The referee archive is organized by season because both the
composition of the NBA officiating staff and individual uniform
numbers changed over time. Keeping each season separate provides
a useful reference when identifying officials in historic
photographs, television broadcasts, game reports and box scores.
Names and uniform numbers are preserved from the NBAHoopsOnline
2009-10 referee archive. Unused uniform numbers have intentionally
been left unfilled.
