Crew Chief
• The crew chief is the head official in basketball

senior official, is not allowed to over-call the
umpires or referees. The crew chief is the lead
referee and acts as a captain for the group. Mainly,
head coaches consult with the crew chief when
they need an explanation of a call or have a
complaint with a call.
• The responsibilities of the crew chief are basically
to have the final say on any call in a game. This is
similar to the role of a coach to a coordinator as in
both cases one answers to another. In this case, the
other referees answer to the crew chief. Other than
this they have the same responsibility as regular
referees enforcing the game by calling things such
as fouls or double dribbles.

official is called the crew chief. The remaining two
officials are known as referees. You can complain
all you want about these NBA referees. They know
that they too miss calls in a basketball game.
• Every decision they make, they know half of the
audience will like it. The other half won’t. Indeed,
referees aren’t here in the NBA to make friends.
They need to act like neutral. But when fans,
players and coaches are continually pushing and
pulling you this way and that, it becomes tough to
keep check of your emotions.
• There comes the NBA replay center to help
officials decide if there is a tough call. They do it
handsomely without disrupting the momentum of
the game at all.
