Open Extended ReactionsOKLAHOMA CITY -- Veteran NBA official Scott Foster was not selected as one of the three referees for Game 7 of the NBA Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers on Sunday night. The other three referees who served as crew chiefs over the first four games of the series -- John Goble (Game 1), Zach Zarba (Game 2) and Capers (Game 3) -- all were given a second game, with Goble serving as the crew chief for Game 5, Zarba for Game 6 and Capers for Game 7. Alongside Capers, who will be working his 17th career Finals game, will be the two officials who did Game 4 with Foster. Tiven is working in his sixth NBA Finals and will be officiating his 10th Finals game, and Wright is in his second Finals and working his third game. Foster is the only referee to get one game -- as either a working referee or an alternate -- in the series.
