John Nucatola signed 3x5 card Basketball HOF deceased
| Deemed basketball's "greatest official" by Hall of Famer Clair Bee, John Nucatola was a man of high moral fiber and ethics. Nucatola believed the referee's most important duty was to make the right call and not just to assert authority. During his two-decade career, Nucatola officiated over 2,000 games. A highly respected official, he often urged other refs to be willing to reconsider their calls, and was a strong advocate of the three-man officiating crew. Nucatola began his career at the college level where he founded the College Basketball Officials Association. He moved onto the professional game in the American Basketball League, the Basketball Association of American, and the National Basketball League. In a life dedicated to the development of basketball and officiating, Nucatola conducted more than 1,200 clinics worldwide. He is deceased and elected to the HOF in 1978.
