Gordon Overstreet, one of the top referees and officials in Tucson history, died last week at 95. Overstreet was a regular on press row at McKale Center for about 20 years, serving as the official observer of referees for the Pac-10. Before that, Overstreet worked as a football and basketball referee in the WAC and Border Conference, as well as in scores of high school playoff games.Β
