Scoring and foul rates changed a lot across these seasons, so each season is compared with its own league average.

From box scores, regular season only. Fouls and free-throw attempts count both teams; pace is an estimate of possessions per team. A referee works with a different crew and different teams every night, so these numbers describe their games, not their whistle alone. Roles come from the NBA's daily assignment page. All referees
