Beginning next week, NBA referees will interact with fans and answer questions in real time on Twitter during a select number of games the rest of this season, according to a report Thursday by ESPN's Brian Windhorst.

According to the report, referees watching chosen games will answer questions about the officiating in those games, responding to tweets to the @OfficialNBARefs handle or using the hashtag #RefWatchParty.

The officials responding to the tweets will have access to the same NBA replay center in Secaucus, N.J., that the actual officials calling the game will have, including every available camera angle.

The NBA experimented with the idea during an NBA Finals game last season and, based on the response, have decided to expand the project to more games this season, including some playoff games, Windhorst reported.

The first games to be part of the program this season will be the Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Lakers game on TNT next Monday and the Spurs-76ers game in Philadelphia next Wednesday on ESPN.
