NBA ref Dick Bavetta may retire at season's end
"Veteran NBA referee Dick Bavetta, working the Orlando Magic-Oklahoma City Thunder game, told the Orlando Sentinel he might retire after the end of the season. The personable 69-year-old Bavetta and his wife live on 450 acres in Ocala, Bavetta is in his 32nd season as an NBA ref."

^Ain't that the truth.
Although I am no fan of Bavetta, you have to admit that no one else thrusts his hips as energetically when calling a blocking foul. That alone is about half the entertainment value of any game he officiates. |

That's entertainment.
He is starting to become an embarrassment, and is OLD. Mr Go To Guy for the NBA

Seriously, Why does professional basketball employ 70 year old refs? Insane!
