Controversial Referee Scott Foster Assigned To Officiate Game 7 Between Heat And Celtics

The NBA has announced the officiating crew for the highly anticipated Game 7 between the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals, taking place on Monday.

Scott Foster will serve as the crew chief, alongside Tony Brothers, John Goble, and Kevin Scott, completing the group.

Notably, Foster had officiated Boston's Game 7 victory over Miami in last year's conference finals, as reported by Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press.

However, the news of Foster's presence on the court may not sit well with Heat fans, considering their team's poor record in games he has officiated.

Scott Foster carries a reputation that precedes him, particularly among NBA players. In an anonymous poll conducted by Sam Amick and Josh Robbins of The Athletic, Foster received the most votes as the worst referee in the league.

Interestingly, the category of "Other" received the highest overall total. On the flip side, Brothers emerged as the highest vote-getter for the best referee, while simultaneously being tied with Evan Scott as the second-worst referee according to the poll.

"He's the worst ref to ever do it in the NBA," voiced one player during the exercise. "He takes everything personal. He's awful." Such sentiments highlight the dissatisfaction and frustrations some players have experienced with Foster's officiating style.

Regardless of the outcome of Game 7, it is almost certain that at least one fan base will express discontentment with the officiating, as is often the case during playoff games.

Bruce Springsteen Says Fame Once Scared Him and Therapy Saved His Life

Photo: Bruce Springsteen / Instagram   Bruce Springsteen says he feared fame would change him when his career took off with Born to Run  in 1975.  The rocker, now 76, told TIME100 in a cover story on Sept. 25 that he felt life becoming very different after his first TIME and Newsweek  covers.  He said the praise for his music was a dream come true but came with new problems.  Photo: Bruce Springsteen / Instagram   His sister Pam even told him about paparazzi looking into their family kitchen, which made him worry about how fame would affect them. Springsteen called fame “a very distorted lens” and said he had to protect what mattered most to him.  Those fears helped inspire his next album, Darkness on the Edge of Town , which celebrated working-class life.  He also revealed he struggled with thoughts of suicide after his 1982 album Nebraska and began focusing on mental health.  Springsteen still goes to therapy today and says it has cha...

Matt Heafy Explains Why TRIVIUM’s Tour With Bullet For My Valentine Ended Early

Photo: Matt Heafy / Instagram   TRIVIUM’s Matt Heafy has spoken out about the early end of “The Poisoned Ascendancy” tour with Bullet For My Valentine. The two bands started the run earlier this year to honor the 20th anniversaries of “Ascendancy” and “The Poison.” Plans were made for a full world tour, but things stopped after just three months. TRIVIUM bassist Paolo Gregoletto said Bullet singer Matt Tuck pulled out, adding that he was the only decision maker for the band.
