NBA Referee Profile
Sean Corbin
Sean Corbin has worked 1,732 NBA games, making him one of the more experienced officials on the floor. His personal foul rate sits at 42.2 per game, running 0.2% below league average — he lets play run rather than whistling at first contact. That tendency matters when you're building a total or handicapping foul trouble for key players. His free throw attempts average 48.8 per game, sitting 0.6% above league average, which means that despite the lower foul rate, trips to the line still come — likely clustered in late-game situations when Corbin tightens up. The number that demands the most attention is his home team win rate: 61.6%. League baseline hovers around 59%, so Corbin's games skew noticeably toward the home side. If you're fading the road team in a close spread, Corbin on the assignment adds a measurable edge to that lean. Track the crew sheet before tip-off.
