In light of the officiating quality this year, I would be very curious to know about how the NBA manages officiating quality (top to bottom). Is anyone that has the full picture willing to share the processes?

Cheers

NBA evaluates referees’ performance after each game with a "game observation report". These game day observations are provided to referees in bi-weekly performance evaluations. Referees also receive more comprehensive mid-season evaluations from coach surveys and even more comprehensive end of season reviews from the league’s referee operations staff, using input from coaches and data on call accuracy. At the end of the season 36 referees are selected to officiate games in the playoffs. The number of games that referees are assigned to AND their placement among the top 36 has a huuuuge impact on salary, so there is a lot of incentive from their perspective to get things right.
