Wally Rooney

Wally Rooney has worked 308 NBA games and the numbers tell a clear story for anyone paying attention. He reads games tight — his 48 personal fouls per game runs 4.1% above league average, meaning he's blowing the whistle more than most. That foul volume flows directly into the free throw line: 56.5 FTA per game, sitting 1.1% above league average. When Rooney is on the floor, expect stoppages, foul trouble accumulating, and scoring that leans on the stripe rather than the arc. That environment tends to benefit teams built around aggressive interior play. The number that demands the most attention from bettors, however, is his home team win rate of 64.9%. League-wide home teams win around 57-58% of games — Rooney's number blows past that by a significant margin. Back the home side when he's assigned. That isn't a trend to debate; it's a pattern across 308 games.
