The answer to the question (from a couple of pages ago) -
"who is the alternate offical at the table" - is J.D. Collins. He has had what I would call a "meteoric" rise in this years' tourney (similar to Olandis Poole). He worked the East Rutherford NJ Regional Semi - Pitt vs. OSU. I believe it was his first Regional game in his career. He is from the midwest; works the Mid-Continent (Conf. Champ. game), Horizon League, Missouri Valley (Conf. tourney quarter & semi game), and Big Ten.
He may have the best "gig" of all.....he gets to sit courtside for all 3 Final Four games (and therefore doesn't have to deal w/ coaches/fans *****in' about calls) and will have plenty of time to check out San Antonio's best golf courses.............
