NBA Referee Profile

Jim Huetter

92 career games

Jim Huetter has worked 92 NBA games, and his numbers tell a clear story for anyone paying attention. His personal fouls per game sits at 46.2, running 1.3% below the league average — Huetter lets play run. He is not hunting contact, and teams that thrive in physical, grind-it-out halfcourt sets may find fewer bailout calls than expected. Free throw attempts follow the same logic: 56.2 per game, down 0.7% from league norms, meaning the stripe is not where this game is being decided. The sharper data point is his home team win rate of 68.5%. League-wide home win rates hover well below that figure, which means games with Huetter on the crew have tilted heavily toward the home side. Fading road teams in close spots or leaning into home-team spreads is a pattern worth tracking. The sample is 92 games — meaningful, not conclusive, but enough to act on.
