NCAA Men's Tournament Officials (2017)

[Texref]

Thought they couldn't work both NIT and NCAA. Kimble worked the Houston NIT game and had both first and second round games. Good for him! Good people and good referee!

[Badgerfan2]

Officials for #Badgers-Florida: Verne Harris,Tim Clougherty and Jeb Hartness. Harris from Pac-12, Clougherty from ACC, Hartness from Big 12.

Ky vs UNC

Higgins, Keith Kimble, Mike Reed

That Jeff Anderson sure has a funny way of running

Obviously that's probably a list of who will work tomorrow.

I noticed a LOT of Lead officials helping mark 3 point attempts on the wing today, wonder if that was something JD emphasized.

Tony Greene gets First Tech of Tournament™ award! Could have tossed Richard Pitino but decided not to.

I have it from an unimpeachable source that Joe did not officiate the first weekend for personal reasons.

And the reason for missing other games?

Separate topic - anyone else notice there seems to be more "tweety bird" whistle blowing in the tournament this year? What I mean by this is multiple blasts of the whistle to make the call.

No more this year than other years.

And I have no problem with it.

Best I have SEEN this year are Corbett, Driscoll, Ayers, Steratore.
Mostly watch Big East (Villanova grad & devoted fan), plus some other high ranks or rivalries.

JD is the best in the game right now. Their loss that he is not calling. Stuart still calls a good game as does Dorcy.
