Tag: Eddie F. Rush
These items have all been tagged with the tag "Eddie F. Rush", You can see other tags in the Tag CloudIsn't it an interesting stat that when Eddie F.Rush officiates a NBA playoff game, home teams win the game with a .900 probability? The only game where road team has beat the home team is on 20th April, Philly beat Detroit. (90-86)
Since then, the home teams are 9-0 when Eddie Rush is the head referee. He also leads the referees in calling fouls against the road teams (54.1% of his fouls were called against road teams so far). These stats can be found under the "Fouls Per Game" tab on the "Referee Stats" section.
Maybe it's not interesting, home teams have dominated the 2008 playoffs, so we can say there's nothing new, but I think the NBA is aware of this situation and Eddie Rush has been assigned to the most critical games for home teams. (for example Game 3 of San-Lal series, Game 3 of of Was-Cle series, etc.)

The officials whose stats are published on NBAstuffer.com are the main referees who are assigned to the games by the NBA. As you may know each NBA game is officiated by a referee crew. It is possible and natural that two other assistant referees in the crew might effect the main referee's stats.
