Mitchell Ervin has officiated 430 regular-season games and eight playoff games as an NBA staff official in eight seasons.
Before joining the NBA, Ervin officiated in the NBA G League for four years, working the playoffs and Finals in 2014 and 2015. He refereed the 2014 NBA G League All-Star Game in his hometown of New Orleans.
His résumé includes eight years of collegiate officiating experience, with stints in the Big 12, Conference USA and other conferences. He refereed six years at the high school level in New Orleans and Houston.
Ervin previously worked for the sports representation firm SportsWest Football, the New Orleans Saints, the New Orleans Sports Foundation and as a middle school physical education teacher and coach. He started an organization, The Ervin Element, to help mentor adolescents and young adults.
Ervin graduated with a dual bachelor’s degree in Sport Management and Exercise Physiology from the University of New Orleans, where he was a walk-on member of the 1997-98 basketball team and a member of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. As a high schooler at Eleanor McMain in New Orleans (which fellow NBA official Bennie Adams also attended), Ervin was an All-District point guard who led his team to the 1997 state quarterfinals and earned All-State Academic Honorable Mention honors.
