NBA Referee Profile
Eddie F. Rush
Eddie F. Rush has worked 1,489 NBA games, and his foul data tells a clean story. At 44.5 personal fouls per game, he sits just 0.2% above league average — close enough to neutral that you cannot bank on him tightening or loosening a game. Free throw attempts average 51.7 per game, sitting exactly at the league mean. Neither number gives you a strong lean on pace or foul-line volume. What does stand out is his home team win rate of 60.4%. League home-court advantage typically hovers around 59–60%, so Rush is at the upper edge of that band, suggesting he is not a referee who neutralizes crowd influence or bails out road teams in close calls. When Rush is on the sheet, the home side is covering at a rate bettors should not ignore. His foul numbers may be unremarkable, but that home-team lean is the number worth tracking.
