Joey Crawford, who'd already announced his retirement at the end of the season, announced his knee's not recovering well enough from meniscus surgery to ref again this year, meaning his career is officially over.

Joey Crawford's retirement is my favorite Joey Crawford memory.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out, you egomaniac.

The best Joey Crawford compliment I've heard was from Mark Montieth, who covered the Pacers for the Indianapolis Star, in Grantland's oral history of the Malice at the Palace (which is an excellent read by the way):

Quote
People complain about referees like Joey Crawford and [his] quick whistle. I guarantee if Joey Crawford was working that game, it wouldn’t have happened because he would have controlled it. He would have called technicals and gotten people out of there.

what, no last hurrah taking over one final game -- because, as you know, fans come to the games to see him, not the players

Depends what you mean by better.

Bavetta guessed on calls more often and probably missed more calls, but Joey clearly made more biased calls and more "we control the game, not you" calls.

And more needless technicals.

Joey Crawford - the man who always thought he was bigger than the game. I agree, good riddance.
