Ref Stats

PrintI 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...

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).
