It's just that every time John Adams is mentioned or in the news, he seems to be threatening NCAA tournament assignments in one way or another. It's the only stick he has and I think at times he overplays it.

It is the only stick he has.

That being said, it's a rather big stick. In fact, it may be the biggest stick in the land. Dogs everywhere are envious of this guys stick. They have stick envy.

If you want to work in the show (which most guys at that level do) then you have to play by his rules. And FWIW, I'm pretty sure it's not an idle threat, either. It's not really any different than working for any other assignor in the nation. You want to work for them, you got to play by their rules.
