Ron Garretson is one of the most popular and richest Basketball Referee who was born on July 1, 1958 in Long Beach, California, United States.
In a game during the 1995–96 season, Garretson was involved in an on-court incident with Los Angeles Lakers guard Nick Van Exel. After a timeout with 3 minutes left, Garretson called a technical foul on Van Exel for arguing a call. Van Exel continued to argue and reportedly called Garretson a “little midget.” Garretson then called another technical foul, which automatically ejected Van Exel. He walked toward the locker room before returning to shove Garretson into the scorer’s table. He was immediately restrained by teammates as he continued to swear at the referee. The league later fined him a record- high $25,000 and suspended him for seven regular season games. Van Exel publicly apologized for his action, though he refused to apologize to Garretson.
In an 2000 playoff game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Portland Trail Blazers, Garretson ejected then-Blazer Rasheed Wallace after granting a timeout to Los Angeles because he believed that Wallace displayed a negative attitude towards him. Wallace’s former teammate, Steve Smith, argued to Garretson that Wallace did not say anything to him. Garretson told Smith that Wallace was warned three times about staring at him.
