What do you think of Scott Foster after reading this?
New York TimesWhen he was a cocksure 25-year-old, on the fast track to officiating big-time college basketball, Scott Foster was summoned for a sit-down with his dad. Referee Tyler Ford, in his ninth NBA season, says Foster is the “elite of the elite.” And Ashley Moyer-Gleich, in her sixth season, said, “Scott isn’t one of the best. “People want to grasp onto the negative and use three things that discredit Scott Foster … so now, you can take those three things and basically say, ‘Look at all this proof!’” Foster said. “But anybody who studies and looks at the number of plays I call for this team, and that team, and how fair I am … and basically I think every coach in this league would agree that I have the courage to do what is unpopular, but what is hopefully right.” In three of the past four seasons, Scott Foster has officiated only one of Chris Paul’s regular-season games. After the game, Paul said Foster years ago was involved in an incident with his son, Chris Paul Jr. “We had a situation some years ago, and it’s personal,” Paul said in November.
