Whenever Hightower is doing a big game, particularly if it's in High Definition, I find I watch him more than the game. He does drift. His situational and occasionally bizzare mechanics can be confounding for a wannabe like me. But he just seems to get it right. Even players who act like they've never committed a foul in their lives seem to just walk back to their huddle when he tags them. I think he's fantastic at what he does.
Plus, when have you ever heard a college crowd chant a ref's name after an injury, but do it in a respectful way, not a sing-songy way?
On the Valentine/Hightower thing, does anyone remember a game a few weeks ago involving Duke, where Kryzewski was starting to lose his mind, and Ted just basically put him rump right into K's midsection, and screened him from one of his partners who was getting an earful? I know Shows was on that crew, but maybe the other was Hightower. Am I remembering that right? Does anyone else remember what I'm talking about?
