Bobby Ray - NCAA Basketball Official
Episode description
Bobby Ray has spent over a decade officiating women's college basketball games in the ACC and numerous other conferences. The seventh of seven kids and son of a coach, basketball and competition have been part of his life from day one. After his own stint as a coach, Ray eventually dove headfirst into the world of officiating.
Our conversation touches on a variety of topics, including the nuances of calling a game, interacting with coaches, and the logistics of life on the road. Ray shares stories about some his favorite venues and a few crazy endings. He ends with a story about a blown call that cost a team a championship, one that has stuck with him and motivated him for years.
Spoiler alert, referees are humans too! Bobby Ray provides some context for us all while talking about his passion.
