Ref Stats

I find that most Jazz fans on this blog tend to complain about the refs very little (compared to how much I do anyway).  This is probably a good thing - nobody likes the guy who blames every loss on the refs (not that I do - but my wife probably thinks I do based on how aggravated I get over the pathetic reffing jobs I've witnessed).

Anyway - I think there should be an official "+/-" stat for the refs.  By this I mean: for a given ref and a given team, what is the average +/- for the team while that ref is calling the game?  Then we can compare that to the team's overall average +/- and see which ref a team loves to get for a game.

I realize that the data is all out there and maybe even compiled?  But I'm just too lazy to find it or put it all together.  Still, I think it would be interesting to see these trends - especially over the entire career for the ref.  I realize that there are many factors involved so the stats for one season may not be a telling indication, but over a ref's entire career it may uncover some interesting things...

All comments are the opinion of the commenter and not necessarily that of SLC Dunk or SB Nation.

Covers.com

Covers.com has the refs by home w/l, home against the spread, etc. for all the refs there are (and for many years).

It’s not a by-team thing (more home v. away), so I don’t think it fits what you want, but it is out there…

And actually

if you go to match-ups, you can click on “stats” under Crew, and see how the teams involved have done in recent games with the official (has breakdown for all 3 refs at the game).
