I just sat down and am watching and came here specifically to say something about Higgins and saw this thread.
It's painful watching him. In a system where a gimpy Higgins is seen as a better option than a few hundred other DI officials that can actually move, I think the system is seriously broken. Burr can't move that well either. But Higgins is taking inbounds from the backcourt endline from beyond the FT line as the trail....forget about adequately covering a fast break. And the extent that he's bailing on every shot tells me he knows he can't move.
I'd rather see a younger guy as much as I love watching Higgins work.
