Does Tom have a chance to call the final four this year?????

Considering that this thread started in 2005, I think we would have to know what happens when the actual tournament starts. We do not even know who is going to be working for certain yet. And what happens in the actual games and who works them is going to be a determining factor.

Peace

No.

The guys that work the Final Four won't necessarily have worked the second weekend of the tournament. In 2003, Mike Kitts worked the first weekend (the memorable moment being when he threw out the Cincinnati radio color-commentator after Huggins' ejection), didn't work any regional semis or finals, and then got the call to work the Final Four.

I don't think Hall worked the elite 8 so I doubt he will be there. I actually thought I saw him but his name isn't in the box score

How could you miss him?

I think if anyone new will make it to the Final Four it could be Bruce Hicks. I think someone else will make an appearance that hasn't been mentioned.

From what I know, Reggie Greenwood, is going for his first time. Some of the others are Burr, Hightower, Cahill, Bob Donato, and Larry Rose will be the Alternate.

Thanks for the information. We will know soon enough as the weekend is fast approaching on who will be in St. Louis.

No Gerald Boudreaux? I know he had a pretty good run for a while. I'm curious because I interviewed him a couple of times (not about officiating) and we live in cities about an hour apart. Oh yeah, no "TV" Teddy Valentine?

I hope some year Welmer gets the nod.

Was really impressed this past weekend with Bruce Hicks. I know that he isnt one of those guys that travels around the country and does the Nation TV games, but I think Bruce is as solid as they come. Nice job Bruce.

Mighty

Man, that would be great. I like Reggie a lot. I've met him a couple times. I'll be rooting for him.

I vote for Chuck, ref18, and Juulie.

It's not like I have a scoreboard or anything, but John Cahill seems like he works the FF less than one would think given his experience.

He seems like he's a very formal, old school guy -- I noticed at the Tucson subregional this year that during the breaks and stuff he stood as far away from the other two officials as he could -- watching his bench from virtually the far corner of the court.
