JD must have sent DeRosa upstate to live on a farm.

S4veral must have not got the proper paperwork in to be eligible

You think a big time D1 official who has worked the tournament multiple times makes the mistake of not getting his paperwork in order?

Yes, Jim Burr had it happen one season.

Yeah, but Stuart, DeRosa, AND Dorsey?? Dorsey was the alternate for the Final Four last year.

My guess for Stuart and DeRosa is that they didn't like their assignments last year (both only worked regional semifinal), knew JD was not going to advance them furthur, and took an early vacation.

Shame cuz those two guys are still among the best. It's not like DeRosa dropped off the cliff like Burr did a couple years ago.

If Ted Valentine makes another Final Four, he will break the record for most years between first final four and last final four currently held at twenty-one years by Jody Sylvester and Jim Burr.

It happened!

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!

They have to have so many hours (48?) of idle time between NIT and NCAA game.

My favorite NCAA official again this season is Kipp Kippinger.

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

On the alley oop foul that was changed to a two-shot foul. The call was right, but I don't like how Stephens came in and took over and signalled 2 shots instead of letting Kippinger signal the two shots since he's the one who called The foul.

Agree with this 100%. Bring information to the calling official and then let him decide the adjudication.

Stephens likes to be noticed, probably played a part in it. Very dramatic on calls when he doesn't have to be.
