William Gene Kennedy (born November 10, 1966) is an American professional basketball referee for the National Basketball Association (NBA). Kennedy graduated from St. Mary's High School in Phoenix, Arizona, and Arizona State University. He refereed in the Continental Basketball Association (CBA), refereeing the 1995 and 1996 CBA Finals.[1] He began as an NBA referee during the 1995-96 NBA season. He has refereed five NBA Finals games, as well as the 2010 FIBA World Championships and the 2012 Summer Olympics.[2] Kennedy ejected Boston Celtics' coach Doc Rivers from a game on March 17, 2009. Rivers was fined $25,000 for remarks he made about Kennedy after the game, and Kennedy was fined an undisclosed amount for his handling of the situation.[2] Rivers reportedly used a gay slur towards Kennedy during the 2009 NBA Playoffs.[3][4] In December 2015, Kennedy ejected Rajon Rondo from a game, and Rondo used a gay slur towards Kennedy, which resulted in a one-game suspension for Rondo. Kennedy later revealed that he is gay.[5] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/index.ssf/2015/04/trail_blazers-grizzlies_meet_the_officials_for_gam_1.html|title=Trail Blazers-Grizzlies: Meet the officials for Game 3, including Scott Foster|work=OregonLive.com|accessdate=December 14, 2015}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/celtics_nba/celtics_insider/2011/05/long_time_doc_rivers_nemesis_bill_kennedy_assigned|title=Long-time Doc Rivers nemesis Bill Kennedy assigned to officiate tonight's Game 3|publisher=|accessdate=December 14, 2015}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://nba.nbcsports.com/2015/12/14/doc-rivers-reportedly-once-used-anti-gay-slur-against-referee-bill-kennedy/|title=Doc Rivers reportedly once used anti-gay slur against referee Bill Kennedy|work=ProBasketballTalk|accessdate=December 14, 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.masslive.com/celtics/index.ssf/2015/12/nba_referee_bill_kennedy_comes.html|title=NBA referee Bill Kennedy reveals he is gay; both Rajon Rondo and Doc Rivers have allegedly called him homophobic slurs|work=masslive.com|accessdate=December 14, 2015}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://sports.yahoo.com/news/nba-referee-bill-kennedy-reveals-he-is-gay--rajon-rondo-made-alleged-homosexual-slur-to-him-174255321.html|title=NBA referee Bill Kennedy reveals he is gay; Rajon Rondo alleged to have made slur to him|date=December 14, 2015|work=Yahoo Sports|accessdate=December 14, 2015}} External links
