Pat Fraher

Fraher was involved in a controversial play in the 2018 NBA Playoffs between Lebron James’ Cleveland Cavaliers and the Indiana Pacers when things got physical with Lance Stephenson. When Lance Stephenson wrestled for control of the ball against Jeff Green in the waning minute of the game, Fraher called a jump ball but was overruled and a foul was called on Stephenson. Many, including the TNT Inside the NBA’s Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith disagreed vehemently with the call.

Pat Fraher has officiated 1,106 regular-season games and 51 playoff games and worked the 2015 NBA All-Star Game in New York. Fraher began his officiating career in the CBA and spent four years in the WNBA before moving up to the NBA.
