I feel pretty confident that he was in the 14th Region. He played college basketball at Alice Lloyd College in the mid-90s.

[Jim Schue]

Charles Jones in the 5th Region had a 4-year NBA career.

Are most referees former players?

Michael Romes from the 9th

[BirdBrain]

This is a tough thread title because it is specifically asking about "standout" player, which may not be easily defined, right ?

[paNDA]

We can broaden the thread to good high school/college players who are now ref'ing.

Charles Jones in the 5th Region had a 4-year NBA career.

Is this the Charles Jones who played at UL and was later a city cop?

Gerald Gray Of Louisville

 

Gerald played collegiately at Austin Peay and then multiple years for the Harlem Globetrotters. He is a very good official, and his son is an outstanding player at PRP.
