D-League Referee Kevin Cutler Called Up To The NBA

At 6-foot-8 and 270 pounds, former Long Beach State player Kevin Cutler (1989-91) became the tallest and heaviest referee ever to work an NBA game last season.

He was called up during the middle of it from the NBA Developmental League and wound up appearing in seven games.

Well, Cutler must have made an admirable impression, since he recently was hired full-time by the NBA.
Cutler began refereeing as a hobby eight years ago, was discovered at a Los Angeles camp by former NBA officiating director Ed Rush, and soon went to work in the D-League.

I know Nicholas Buchert also got the call-up to full-time NBA officiating. Have to say I hope the powers that be can find suitable replacements because the D-League definitely benefited from having solid officials like these guys – hence, that’s probably why they made the jump
