Can anyone here give me some background on John Higgins?

He officiated the Tennessee/Virginia game in Columbus and had a call late in the game on a foul against Sean Singletary where he (correctly) waved off the ensuing shot. A local sports talk show took him to task for waving off the shot after it went in, although I clearly saw Higgins point to the floor when he blew his whistle.

In any event the sports guy said that type of call would keep Higgins from working again in the tournament. I emailed the guy and argued that Higgins made the right call and used the right technique.

Since Higgins worked the Ga/UNC game today, I would like to write again and embellish with some statistics on Higgins' accomplishments, if any of you can help me.

Thanks
