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?

Um, we've only conducted the first weekend of games. There haven't been any other games.

The NCAA Championship manual outlines the process through which officials will be selected for the Sweet 16 and Elite 8. They come from the 96 which worked the previous two rounds of the tournament. Hence, it seems clear that someone can't jump in at the 3rd round.

Sure, makes perfect sense, my mistake.

I do not recall seeing him in any conference tournament games(he probably worked though) or the First Four played on 3/14. I also was not considering 3/16 (Thurs) a weekend game.

Rodrick Dixon who was in the ETSU/Florida NCAA game was at Tudor Fieldhouse in Houston as one of the officials for the Rice/UVU game yesterday evening. If I remember when he did HS ball I did one game with him.

Any word on Stuart and Dorsey on why they did not work
