Thanks for this. Never realized that Burr worked 7 championship games in his career. Or how many final fours Hightower, Cahill, Tim Higgins and many other officials worked.

Several "big names" shut out of this years NCAA tournament:

Name - # games worked 2012-2013

Paul Faia 69 games
Tom Eades 61 games (injured)
Joe DeRosa 61 games
Rick Hartzell 59 games
Dick Cartmell 58 games
Bernard Clinton 54 games
Paul Janssen 52 games
Ed Hightower 46 games
James Breeding 39 games (injured)

Joe DeRosa officiates the Big 12 Championship and doesn't get an NCAA tournament game, that is amazing. I guess somebody doesn't like retired NBA officials officiating in the NCAA tournament.

Doubt that. I believe he worked a regional final last season.

Check that. He worked the Final Four last year (Lou/UK).

I heard that a number of Div. 1 officials had paperwork issue again, including DeRosa and Stephens.

Maybe Joe DeRosa who does not need a tournament resume to get games in future seasons decided that getting 1/3 of your regular fee for Round 1 does not cut it.

Can we just make the assumption that they didn't turn the necessary paperwork back in Oct / Nov by the deadline????

And I think he is a great official. Either way someone said awhile ago, these are not "their assignments" to only have. Someone is always going to be left out for some reason.

Can you shed some light on this? What type of paperwork needs to be turned in as it relates to the tournament?

A background check must be performed via the arbiter......

Interesting stuff.

If what others are posting in another thread about Adams's thoughts about mobility on the court, I'm not surprised about Burr and especially Hartzell, if that's the reason they're not in. Great officials with great careers, but Hartzell in particular looked actually severely injured the two times I saw him work in person this year.

Here in Connecticut, all high school officials, for all sports, must pass a criminal background check. You can't even apply to join my local basketball association without signing a waiver for a criminal background check, it's actually a part of the application. Schools don't want guys, or gals, that stick up liquor stores, or hijack eighteen wheelers with cigarette shipments, officiating their basketball games. Go figure?

From 1985 to 2004, Burr and Higgins basically made the Final Four almost on a yearly basis. I do not think you will ever see that again.

Interesting that two of the three officials who worked the Illinois/Miami game that had the incorrect out of bounds call in the last minute of the game are working the Iowa/Virginia NIT game tonight.

This is a fact? And how come you have "Adams or Evans"?

michblue

I think dahoopref knows what he is talking about...all six on his Thursday list worked.

I noticed Groover worked last night's regional game even though he didn't work a second game last weekend. I was under the assumption officials were paired down by weekend, so when he didn't work last weekend I figured he was not going to advance. I guess this isn't how it works?
