As of the beginning of the 2006–07 NBA season, he officiated 1,649 regular season, 145 playoff, and 11 NBA Finals games as well as the 1998 All-Star Game. He was also one of three former NBA players (Leon Wood and Haywoode Workman) who officiated in the league.

It was reported that Fryer was dissatisfied over the current state of management of officials.
