NBA Referee Profile
Greg Willard
Greg Willard has worked 1,483 NBA games, and the numbers he leaves behind tell a clean story. His career average of 43.7 personal fouls per game runs 1.4% below league average, and his 50.9 free throw attempts per game sits at that same -1.4% clip — both figures pointing in the same direction. Willard lets play run. He is not manufacturing foul calls or sending teams to the line at an elevated rate, which matters when you are handicapping totals and team styles. Physical, aggressive offenses that draw contact benefit less in his games; defensive teams that sell physicality get more room to operate. The number that demands the most attention is his home team win rate: 63.6%. The league baseline for home wins typically hovers around 59-60%, and Willard's mark sits notably above that. Bettors fading the road team in his games have had a structural edge. Track him on the assignment sheet.
