Got a database with evey play from the last 5 seasons and postseasons. Didn't had the ref assignments though. So I updated it for this season with a script that runs through the ESPN boxscores and collects the Refs for all games. I needed two hours or so to write that script and update the database. Will continue for previous seasons the next days.
For today ... it took hours and hours, but once the database is set it only takes seconds to get to the specific data. Players, teams and now ... referees
