I don't want to get into the details yet, because there is more secrecy with who's working what game this year than there is about what really happened to Jimmy Hoffa. We can all thank Mr Donaghy for that.
If this is the case, I guess this official decided in advance that he will work 1 NCAA Men's tourney and be done with the Men's tourney? I say this because, my understanding is that officials advance through the tourney just as the teams do, or in other words, once you sit out a round, you're done. By choosing to work a 1st round men's game on Thursday, and then a first round Women's game on Sunday, I would think that said official will not be available for any Saturday Men's games either due to needing to get to his women's assignment site. Am I missing something here?
