Thanks for posting!
Very nice article and a detailed overview of the NCAA process.
Adams took one stance which I don't agree with, but I can see the argument in its favor. That point being that he wanted officials from the "Big Six" conferences for the Regionals and beyond due to their familiarity with big-time environments and crowds.
I'm not convinced that living in a certain area or working for a larger or smaller conference makes one a more or less capable official for the later rounds of the NCAA tourney. For example, the Horizon League is not listed as one of the "Big Six," yet seems silly to discount the officials who worked in that league all year. Obviously that conference played some great basketball as evidenced by Bulter making the National Championship Game.
