NBA Referee Profile
Ben Taylor
Ben Taylor has worked 707 career games and runs a whistle-heavy crew. His 40.7 personal fouls per game sits 2.3% above league average, and his 46.1 free throw attempts per game comes in 2.0% above the norm — both numbers tell you the same thing: Taylor reads contact and calls it. Bettors tracking pace and scoring environments should flag his assignments. More fouls mean more stoppages, more trips to the line, and a game that trends toward higher point totals driven by FTA volume rather than organic offense. His home team win rate of 57.3% is also worth noting — it tracks above the standard home-court baseline, suggesting teams playing in their own building convert that advantage at a measurably higher rate under his officiating. Whether that reflects crowd-noise sensitivity or something in how he reads incidental contact near the home bench, the number is consistent enough to factor into spread and side decisions.
