The NBA’s minor league will attempt, in an experimental run, to work with four or five referees in a single game. If the experiment could pan out, the move could go a long way toward pushing the NBA to move toward the use of four or five-person crews, helping eliminate the sort of missed calls that are often lost to the clutter, as three refs attempt to work through the unending action they’ve been charged with lording over. The four-person experiments will be run in two configurations. The first will feature two officials in the lead position and two split between the slot and the trail. The second is highlighted by two officials in the slot position with the additional two as a trail and a lead, respectively. In the five-person tests, the existing three-person system will rotate typically with the two additional officials taking lead stationary positions on each end of the court.
