What am I looking at?
- Individual refs: stats for one official across all Mountaineers games they worked, even with different partners.
- Team baseline: the Mountaineers went 7-13 (35.0%) across this sample. Ref win rates show how they compare to that team average.
- Whistle differential: flag differential. A positive number means opponents are flagged more often than the Mountaineers.
