I thought this was amusing.

Tim Clougherty is John Clougherty's son. He works SEC, Colonial, Ohio Valley and Atlantic Sun and worked in the tourney last year. I called Tim this morning to ask him about the Precision Time issue. He said he was scheduled for the first round game but won't find out until Monday if he's selected for next weekend or not. He was fortunate in that he lives in Raleigh where his game was played. I say fortunate because his dad had to travel all the way to Seattle.
Tim is a terrific baseball umpire, routinely working big games in the ACC and SEC. Has to be a pretty good life.
Mike Stuart has worked SEC ball for the past 9 years. I didn't see the game but my guess is that John Higgins is Tim Higgins. Did anyone see the game?
