Nevedaref - Welmer only worked a 1st rd game (Washington v Utah St) - he was an alternate on the Washington v Illinois game.

As for the chosen 10, here's my selections:

Scott Thornley
Dave Hall
Bob Donato
Tom Lopes
Tom Eades
Karl Hess
Tony Greene
Ed Corbett
Tom O'Neill
Pat Driscoll (alternate for all 3 games)

I would like to see Hicks and Thornley. I thought they both have been outstanding. Plus I'm biased toward Bruce, having learned a ton from him.

Burr has 15 Final 4s to his credit.
85,88,90,91,92,93,94,95,97,98,99,00,02,04,05

6 of those were championship games.
91,94,95,98,00,02

Did you find this info online or in an NCAA encyclopedia or just call him up and ask?

Seriously, I am interested where you found it. Seems like a good source.

Maybe I am Jim Burr?

Just kidding. The NCAA record book lists Final 4 officals. You can find it on pages 24 & 25.

And, because I am way too weird about this stuff, I have written down every tournament assignment for the field of 64 since 1998. So, if you have any question about games in the past 8 years, I can give you names from the boxscores.

Higgins (Tim), Hightower, Valentine

I would guess the following:

1st semi: Jim Burr, John Higgins, Tony Greene
2nd semi: Ed Hightower, Vern Harris, Mike Sanzere

National Championship: Scott Thornley, Reggie Greenwood, David Libbey

Alternate: Randy McCall
