Tendencies & Game Impact

During the 2019-2020 when Scott officiated, the home team won 54% of the time with slighly more fouls against the road team and one more fould called on the road team. The spread hit more often in lower scoring games and the home favorite covered less often with bigger spreads.

Controversies

In a match up between NBA rivals the San Antonio Spurs and the Houston Rockets, Scott blew a call when a driving James Harden went in for a breakaway dunk only to have the ball carom off the rim and back into play. Scott mistakenly called this offensive interference. The Rockets said they challenged the call immediately, but the officials said that the 30 second window had been exceeded. Also during the 2019 season in a game between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Brooklyn Nets, Scott and crew made the assessment that there had been contact between the ball and the rim so the play was not blown dead and the play was not reviewable.
