  One of the best refs in the game right now.

• NUPE Posted: Nov.9 at 12:10 pm
  I had know idea he was that old. You have to be in pretty darn good shape to be a ref, and to do it at his age… wow. Hope he enjoys his retirment and can help train some younger refs.

  thanks for posting that, Marcel. And yeah, the man will be 70 next month! 70!!

• JB Posted: Nov.9 at 4:22 pm
  He doesn’t look a day over 81.

• tavoris Posted: Nov.9 at 4:32 pm
  I’m sure Charley Rosen will be happy when he finally retires. As will EVERY center/pf that Bavetta makes horrible calls against.

  Good riddance. Now we just need to get rid of every other nba ref in the association so that there are no longer playoff series where one superstar (i.e. dwayne wade or lebron) average 20ft a game. I was boutta pull my eyes out during miami’s championship run, and more recently lebron demolishing every magic player by fouling them out. Nba.. where amazing happens rarely.

  he’s terrible. thank god he’s finally getting out of the L. KINGS IN 02!!

• Garrett Posted: Nov.9 at 6:50 pm
  It’s crazy that he’s 69 years old and reffing NBA games. And yet the league couldn’t find competent young refs to replace him? Hmm.

• Darksaber Posted: Nov.9 at 8:50 pm
  Knick Bavetta…

• vmcb Posted: Nov.9 at 10:25 pm
  Dick Bavetta loves the attention. Apparently.

• whalleywhat Posted: Nov.10 at 6:54 am
  Is he gonna fire the girl who takes note every time his name’s mentioned?

• Toni Kukoc Posted: Nov.10 at 7:29 am
  this scumbag will finally retire? hope most of you will know the truth about him in the future i guess…

• tavoris Posted: Nov.10 at 9:41 am
  Darksaber, he IS the ref that called that “infamous” foul that got Grandmama a four-point play back in the day, isn’t he?

• Dacre Posted: Nov.10 at 10:04 am
  I can remember when he ref’d Greg Odens first game back in 1973.

• Gerard Himself Posted: Nov.10 at 11:13 am
  Dacre, Oden was there alright. But Bavetta started out in ’75.

• Dacre Posted: Nov.10 at 4:26 pm
  …sarcasm Gerard?

• zack Posted: Nov.10 at 4:30 pm
  good riddance!

• Chris B Posted: Jan.30 at 10:05 am
  I might start watching the NBA again if he leaves. On second thought, I’ll wait till his boss leaves also.
