NBA Referee Profile
Olandis Poole
Olandis Poole has worked 570 NBA games, and his numbers tell a consistent story for anyone tracking officiating tendencies. His personal foul rate sits 1.7% below league average at 41.6 per game, and his free throw attempt rate runs 1.2% under the league mark at 48.5 per game — both figures pointing in the same direction. Poole lets play run. Contact gets absorbed, borderline calls get swallowed, and the game moves. That translates directly to fewer trips to the line and lower raw scoring floors from the stripe. Bettors leaning on foul-dependent offenses or over totals built around free throw volume need to adjust expectations when Poole is on the crew. The home-court angle is also worth tracking: teams at home win at a 58.1% clip under Poole, running above the standard home-win baseline. That lean is real and repeatable enough to factor into spread decisions on neutral-context matchups.
