But that's part of learning how to be a referee; being confident in your calls and being demonstrative," Jefferson said."I was like, 'Oh, that's the right call, then there was all his hoopla and everyone arguing, which is going to happen, but I'm waiting to see the review.
The official referee statistics for Jefferson, who is now an ESPN commentator, in a 10-minute quarter: Two whistles blown, one overturned call, one over-the-back offensive foul and six passes to free-throw shooters. "It's nothing but a ton of of respect in the Knick organization. ... Most refs aren't being heckled by name, but this was one of those times. Normally, I'm used to being able to say stuff back, so that was the hardest part."
