Higgins has been reffing college ball since the 70's and he was, along with Jim Burr, one of the original members of the Big East officiating staff when the conference formed in 1979-1980 season (the conference formed in May of 1979 after the hoop season ended).
There has never been a Big East basketball season that did not see Higgins or Burr on the floor working games in the conference. It's pretty amazing!
