What am I looking at?
  • Individual refs: stats for one official across all Rockets games they worked, even with different partners.
  • Ref crews: stats when the same three officials worked together on the Rockets games (5+ games shown by default).
  • Team baseline: the Rockets went 187-223 (45.6%) across this sample. Ref and crew win rates show how they compare to that team average.
  • Whistle differential: who gets called more. A positive number means opponents are whistled more often than the Rockets.
