I believe the answer is:

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">basketball official</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for referee that I've seen before include "Umpire; arbitrator" , "Game official" , "Official to ensure fair play" , "Sports adjudicator" , "Arbiter" .)
