Notice how Bavetta's "worst" year was also the Bucks best percentage wise. The Bucks had a 16 game losing streak in games reffed by Bavetta. This happened from 2000-2002 (playoffs included). Keep in mind what the Bucks record was during that time (especially in 2000-01). Its not like that was a 16 game losing streak when the Bucks were horrible.

The Bucks are 33-50-1 against the spread in games reffed by Bavetta.

The Bucks are 14-20 Straight Up when they are favored in a Bavetta reffed game.

12-32 Overall on the road
13-27 Overall at home.

I wanted to know what the Bucks record was when they were the better team (record wise). The records I used for this research were the records for both teams at the end of the regular season. So if the Bucks finish 42-40 and played an opponent that was 39-43 at the end of the year...the Bucks were the "better team" even though its possible the other team had the better record at the time the game was played.

The Bucks are 11-20 when they are the "better team"

The Bucks are 4-8 when they are the "better team" and at home.

The Bucks are 9-27 when they are .500 or better at the end of that season.

The Bucks are 14-19 when their opponent is below .500 at the end of the season.

The Bucks are 11-40 when the opponent is .500 or better at the end of the year.

The Bucks are 11-27 in games decided by 6 or less

The Bucks are 6-14 in games decided by 7-10

The Bucks are 4-5 in games decided by 20+

51 times the opponent shot more free throws than the Bucks
24 times the Bucks shot more free throws than the opponent.
9 times it was equal.

26 times the opponent shot 10+ more free throws than the Bucks
8 times the Bucks shot 10+ more free throws than the opp.

I also looked at games where the free throw differantial was greater than or equal to the point differential in the game. So if the Bucks shot 15 fewer free throws in a game and lost by 10 then it would qualify. I call these "fishy" games. Another rule is that the free throw differential must be 10 or more. So if the Bucks lose by 1 and the opponent shoots 1 more free throw...this doesnt count as a fishy game. They would have had to at least been outshot by 10 at the line for that to count.

There were a total of 21 "fishy" games. 17 were in favor of the opponent. 4 in favor of the Bucks.
