Thanks. I found those on Twitter last night.

The correct term, from the actual contract, is 'standby'.
(Ask me how I know)

Ten minutes remaining in the second half of NC St. v Marquette.
The replay at 9:20 is fantastic.
The shot clock is winding down and NC St is struggling to attempt a 3pt shot. Take a look at what the offensive player does to the defender just prior to shooting!

Elite Eight officials:

James Breeding
Brian Dorsey
Ron Groover
Michael Irving
Byron Jarrett
Keith Kimble
Ray Natili
Brian O'Connell
Terry Oglesby
Marques Pettigrew
Doug Shows
Doug Sirmons

Final Four officials (9 working, 2 standby) are taken from both rounds this weekend.

5:17 remaining 2nd half Duke v Houston.
Offensive or defensive foul on the Filipowski drive?

Tammy Wynette (1968) ...
 

2:06 remaining 2nd half Duke/NCST. Travel?

9 of the 12 regional Rs are working. 1 was a U1 on Thursday. 1 was a U2 on Sunday.

Despite all the social media nonsense, the NCAA and Rastatter must've been happy with how Purdue/Tennessee was officiated as 2 of the 3 officials on that game are in the Final Four.

Wondering what it will take for O'Connell and Walton to get over the hump. I think Ayres, Groover and Kimball are in a class by themselves.

I'd put Oglesby there, too.

A.R. 221 Ruling 3 and rule 9-5.7 address maintaining a pivot foot, which the Duke player did .

Last year the two first-timers served as the Standby officials. If that happens again this year, the two Umpires selected would be the Standbys and the nine floor officials will all have been the R in the Sweet16/E8.

Rastatter clearly has a penchant for advancing his selected Rs.

Thought it was pretty cool that the Sweet Sixteen alternates all got to work last night. Not sure if that happened last year. I also think it was great that CR put Rastatter put Lamar Simpson our there after the Kansas play. Well done.
