[26 Year Gap]

I do not know the college officials very well at all. This is probably the first season that I have paid any attention to the names of those working in the tournament. However, watching the games on television do not really give you much to go on. By that I mean, how often are there close ups of the officials? Most of the views you get are views of the entire halfcourt. Most of the closeups are on the players [as they should be]. So unless you know who the officials are on sight, it is going to be very easy to confuse who is who out there. Most of my observations until I get to know these guys on sight will be in reference to 'the bald guy' ,'the heavy guy', 'the skinny guy', 'the gray haired guy', etc. Until basketball goes the football route with R, U, U1 & U2 on the back [and I hope it never happens], there will be confusion as to who is who out there. "You can't tell the players without a scorecard" didn't become a catchphrase for nothing.
