Also earlier in the tournament J.D. Collins worked the Butler-Florida game in the NCAA Tournament and Collins lives very close to Indianapolis where Butler is located. Considering that officials work in multiple conferences, it would be somewhat unfair to only hire people based on only a geographic issue. NCAA Basketball is not like NCAA Football where all season you work in an area and only one conference.
I could be wrong but that is my take.

Verne Harris is working the UCLA game and he works the PAC 10.
It doesnt matter what conference or where you live. If you are good you are working
