crucial lessons he wants to pass along to the kids with whom he works --
always show up, never give up, and show respect to others. When he talks
to kids, he makes sure to tell them that although they may not be as big and

something good by showing gratitude for all their own unique gifts.

WASHINGTON, Thirty-one-year veteran NBA referee
Dick Bavetta considers himself to be a fortunate man. While
with the Eastern League, he tried out for the NBA every year for nine years.
Entering the NBA could be considered intimidating. Not so for Bavetta. This meant that Bavetta, in an
era of two-man crews, had to finish the game by himself, which he did.
However , if he ever does retire, he will have plenty to keep him busy.
