I remember when some of the officials got in trouble with the IRS for dodging taxes. I think they were suspended for a season or more. I know one of them was Joe Forte, who is currently still officiating. Back in 1969, I taught history at the same school where he was a phys ed instructor. We earned $4,400 for the entire school year. It would be interesting to know what guys like him are making. Thanks KC. I remember when some of the officials got in trouble with the IRS for dodging taxes.

According to a CNBC article in 2007 (link: http://www.cnbc.com/id/19876494), NBA officials made $100,000 - $300,000 per year. I would imagine that the salaries increase (or are higher) based on a couple of things: - If the referee is evaluated as good and fair, he'll probably be officiating more playoff games, and thus making more money - If you're a good official and haven't been fired/disciplined in the past, I would imagine your salary increases with seniority Ken – I just checked online for that information.
