What am I looking at?

Individual refs: stats for one official across all Hawks games they worked, even with different partners.
Team baseline: the Hawks went 370-450 (45.1%) across this sample. Ref 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 Hawks.
