So you can tell the difference between the referees. Referee number 23 was in Boston while referee number 15 was in Chicago... and stuff like that...so Nba head ppl know how to schedule them, or the referees just want numbers to look special.

Maybe its just a way in case the ref gets a technical.... but actually, i think it must be a way of identifying who is who!

How is it pointless? It allows referees to be indetified easier, which has been said earlier. What harm does it do anyway?

:lol:

Exactly...I don't know what the big deal is...

But he's right, it is used to identify the refs. And they used numbers because you could only imagine how many people would be complaining if, God forbid, they put their last names on a referees' jersey!

Probably not. Only the most egotistical referees indicate their own numbers when calling fouls.
