Crystal Hogan (born 1977) is an American basketball referee and the only woman to referee Division 1 men's basketball.[1]
Hogan was raised in Compton[2] and attended Compton College, playing for their basketball team coached by Louie Nelson. She was recruited to Long Beach State on a full athletic scholarship and earned a degree in psychology before becoming a social worker.[3]
After training as a referee, Hogan began officiating with the Long Beach Unit of the California Basketball Officials Association. She then watched the Drew League[4] and eventually got to call games, including a foul on Kobe Bryant.[5] She joined the Division 1 basketball officials in the 2018–19 season.[6] She became the first woman to ever referee a men's Division 1 game when Seattle University played against Puget Sound University.[7] She is also the first full-time referee in NCAA Men's D-1 history.[8]
Besides her referee responsibilities, Hogan has also worked as a parole agent in California's Department of Corrections and Rehabilitations.[1]
