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.

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.

Since we're throwing guesses out there ...

Semis:
Kersey, Hess, Valentine
Maxwell, Sanzere, McCall

Championship:
Hicks, Hall, Burr

Standby: Greene

No real rhyme or reason to it ... I'm just going by crews that I thought did well last weekend. One guy that I didn't have on there that I hope does get there for a second straight season is Donato ... He's a great guy!

Would this be the first time Hightower and Valentine worked together since the Bobby Knight incident? How about that for a story line...

Interesting. Not sure.

Looks like I was wrong about Valentine for the final, but I had a strong hunch he would be back at the FF this year. He's earned his way back.

Good for Teddy. I, for one, am glad to see him back in the Final Four for the first time since doing the final in 1997, which was also in Indianapolis.

Did I see on a previous post that anyone who advances from last weekend advances with his crew? Would I be safe in assuming that Hess and Kersey are going with him?

Guess he bounced back well after his crew's early season mistake in BGSU/VA Tech game. Goes to show you that one missed call shouldn't ruin your entire season.
