Can't imagine officiating games where my favorite team is playing. Hard to contain the feelings of excitement, especially during crucial moments. Kudos to these guys for being so professional.

and managing how to show no excitement in some amazing plays. example game winning at the buzzer
these guys really work hard..
Pretty cool they analyze how much air pressure is a common foul when a player breathes on Haren.
Argubly the hardest job in the NBA that also gets ZERO respect. You'll always upset someone with a call. And if you've ever refed a game you'll know its really fucking hard.

If I don't become a player, I'd want to be an official or sports analyst. Just like when you're in any other job, you have to work hard. I like it!
Ref sure looks like George Clooney in my opinion.
Zach zarba was excellent referee through hs and college He entered nba fast I want to be like him!

He's been an awful ref so far in the NBA. The bum has at least one massive controversy to his name, and he stole Game 2 from Denver tonight in the Finals because of his questionable officiating. He should be fired by the league for fixing games.
The amount of pressure they got lol I would FOLD! 😂😂
That was pretty interesting, thanks for posting it.
Refees practicing on best location to rig the game.

Ethan Franklin Lebron has cut out his flopping since returning to Cleveland.
Dude looks like Richard Alpert from Lost played by Nestor Carbonell
Literally standing 10 feet away from McDaniels and Irving and he doesn't call the foul, that he admitted post game should have been a foul.

Did he have controversies too at your high school? Considering this little boy named Zarba has some serious controversies to his name already as an NBA ref, I wouldn't be shocked if he's done some ahit at your high school. Zarba is a little boy pretending to be a real man.

Refs are given a lot of leeway ( deservedly so ). If players make mistakes they get benched and honestly cut or can lose their entire career so quick. It’s a cutthroat league for players.
Blind people are getting more and more opportunities these days. Such an accomplishment.
reffing in the NBA must be really tough. it happens so fast and there are so many things to look at at the same time. But I still think football (soccer) is more difficult to ref.

He makes hundreds of thousands per year to officiate NBA games. I've seen how this fucking loser works his job. He's a bum who does things like point shave, and he outright rigs games if it benefits him somehow. He has no right being in the 2023 NBA Finals.

One of the toughest jobs in the NBA, or any spots. I never been a ref, but I can imagine what they go through. Like hostility from the players, coaches, and fans. Omg! I even saw here on KZread a basketball ref got head-butted so bad... He needed facial reconstruction surgery. Then I remembered Nick van axle head-butted a NBA ref. And of course Rasheed Wallace who always throughout his career give refs trouble. Still holds the record for most technical fouls in a NBA career.
I wanna be a ref!!!
so were is the part that Adam silver call them in the game and they need to change the score ? nba is more wwe
They uploaded this video the other day wtf
Does that little box in the back of their pants control the shot clock? It seems like they press it everytime someone inbound the ball?

Controls the game clock. They have 2 microphones on their shirts which are linked to it. When they blow the whistle, the clock stops. They press the button on the box to start it again.

He's such a hottie!
One of the referees in the video is the one who ejected lebron..
They're getting better. Scott foster needs to go though to much scandal

Awesome video! Check out our channel! We do basketball trick shots!
Hey, Zach. Why does NBA reffing suck so bad? Like, why do you guys ref the pro game differently than every other level of hoop? It's terrible. You guys are terrible. The way that you guys ref ruins my favorite sport. Love, Ryan
Nobody cares Referee's Life, other frustrated referee who wants to compare against me to Record 🧮👀🤓
