Here's eight of my guesses. I have no clue but these are top notch officials, I'm sure there will be some "virgins" working the game, not sure who those oficials would be.

I thought Verne Harris called two good games in the first and second round, but he and his crew (Hal Lusk & JD Collins) in the BC/Villanova game did not have a great night (imho), so I would be surprised to see any of them next weekend.

DII Men's Championship

Anyone know the names of the officials from the VA Union/Winona St. game?

Who was the official under the basket as Shinn shot the 1-and-1 with 5.6 seconds left in regulation of the UConn-GW game? No doubt a good official, but you would think that it would not escape notice that he walked into the play to retreive the missed FT, mistakenly thinking it to be a 2-shot foul. Luckily, the UConn guys outrebounded him!!

Tom Mauer, Everett Summers, Cornell Scaife

Tom Mauer is the brother of Ken Mauer of the NBA. Tom is very solid. I think he works a few games in the Big 10, Big XII and WNBA.

I think you are talking about the UCON/George Mason game and the shooter's name is Skinn.

The official is Zelton Steed. I noticed the same thing. I also would think his focus would be better than that.
The last time I watched the movie Eddie, I noticed Zelton Steed and Jamie Luckie were two of the officials in the movie.

That would be amazing to work the final 3 straight years, but like I said I would be surprised...I believe he called the travel on Williams in the BC/NOVA game when imo Williams was clearly fouled, in fact he was dragged to the floor.

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)

My vote

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.
