Scott Foster is one of the most famous NBA officials, which isn’t a good thing. If refs, umpires, etc. are household names for sports fans, it’s probably because of how bad they are.
There are a few guys out there in every sport that we remember. Joey Crawford was the original “look at me” official in the NBA, but Foster is happy to take over. Angel Hernandez and the recently-retired Joe West are two of the worst in baseball. In fact, Hernandez was the star of Sunday Night Baseball between the Phillies and Brewers.
In Foster’s case, he’s notorious for becoming the main attraction during big games.
