Longtime NBA fans may know Joe Borgia from his days as a referee in the 1980s and 1990s. NBA insiders know him from his time work in the league’s referee operations office. Today’s fans recognize Borgia as the face and voice of the NBA’s replay center in Secaucus, New Jersey where reviews are conducted along with referees on the court. Borgia was instrumental in ushering in the replay review era both as the senior vice president of replay and referee operations and the man who often explained rulings to fans watching on TV. Thursday marked the end of Borgia’s 32-year career with the NBA.
