According to KenPom, Ayers is one of the most foul averse refs in the country (link, granted this is 5 years old now) and also consistently one of the best (link, although the methodology here is flawed since it’s based off of which refs get assigned the best games as the measure of best.)

Yep, all three are big game refs.
