Here is what I know...Jim Burr, Larry Rose, Ed Hightower, Bob Donato, Verne Harris, Doug Shows, Randy McCall, Reggie Greenwood, John Cahill. Not for sure on the remaining name though. This comes from very good source that I work baseball with.

Exclamation Good Call JS:

The officials for the semis were:

Louisville - Illinois Jim Burr, Ed Hightower, Doug Shows
Michigan State - North Carolina Bob Donato, Reggie Greenwood, Randy McCall

If your source is reliable (100 % so far), then tonight's officials will be Larry Rose, Verne Harris and John Cahill.

Unfortunately, I missed the games on Saturday due to a power outage. Did anyone see who the alternate is?

As I'm from St. Louis, I tend to follow Hightower. There was a big article in the local paper about him and he works for Illinois in the school system, so I don't really know if he's eligble to referee them. But he did in the Final Four, so he'll probably be there.

I was also kind of surprised that even the officials don't know if they're working it until a few days before it happens.

I'm pretty sure I saw Larry Rose during the first game sitting at the scorer's table. That means he'd be the alternate for all three games, meaning we're still missing one official.

As for Welmer, keep wishing. A source I have says he'll never get in the Final Four. I wish he'd make it, too.

Why is that?

Sounds like an excellent crew, I have had the pleasure of attending Mr. Harris' clinic, and I have yet to meet a more engaging and personable official in my sorted basketball career (6 years offficiating, three years coaching, and over thirty years playing...) As far as Mr. Cahill and Mr. Corbert, I have not had the oppoortuntiy to meet either...but I must admit to watching college basketball just to see the officials, and to my knowledge, the games I have watched; both have done an excellent job. That is why I like watching female bball because it seems that they have wider camera angles and I get to watch the officials more.

I'm not a big fan of Corbett. He seems a little stand-offish on the court to me sometimes. However, I do realize my opinion means nothing, and he's doing the national championship game, and I sure as heck am not. Congrats to all three.

BTW, I believe this will be Verne Harris' second consecutive NC game. I remember him from working mostly in the PAC-10, but I noticed he worked some in the Big XII this year as well.

Corbett and Cahill are northeastern guys who work alot in the Big East and the smaller conferences up yonder, like the MAAC and the Patriot, I believe.

This is Verne Harris' second championship game in a row. I wonder if he was the R (let's see who bites )?

Why is that?
BITS, are you serious? This one makes me laugh

He did not throw up the ball. Not sure if he was the Referee or not.

Peace

Actually he did toss the ball. But you added the wink so we are on seeing eye to eye.

It looked like a white guy that threw up the ball. Verne is rather light-skinned. So with the bright lights, I could have been mistaken.

Peace
