N.B.A. official (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ref

(Other definitions for ref that I've seen before include "Football official (colloq.)" , "In brief, he controls a soccer match" , "A diminutive umpire in soccer or boxing" , "Sports umpire" , "Middleman needing cards" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
