I agree with Kersey. I also think Gary Maxwell will be there. Reggie Greenwood should be omitted from the list. JMO

I see Mike Whitehead on a ton of good games, when does he get his shot? I would take him over Tim Higgins.

What about (on the Men's Side)

Ed Corbett
John Cahil
Scott Thornby?

Do you mean Mark Whitehead???

I think that there should be a poll.

I think we should take a poll on whether there should be a poll about this...

No, we need a committee for that.

And without me even saying it, I'm sure most people know I think Steve Welmer shouldn't be on the list. JM(strong)O

This is my list for the Men's side and I will say upfront that I'm biased towards officials who I think are good/great play callers and/or don't take no BS.

Verne Harris
Dave Libby
Teddy V
Jamie Luckie
Les Jones
Pat Adams
Gary Maxwell
Karl Hess
Bernard Clinton

Maybe not the most well known group, but if you look purely at good officiating I think you could pull a group from here that will do a great job. Also, notice most of my guys don't jump around like a court jester trying to get angles.

I really like your list but I think that (I knwo how you feel) Steve Welmer will be in there somewhere. Regardless, the list you put together are definitely top officials. And certainly all capable of working a final 4.

What is the farthest Welmer has gone into the tourny? I'm not trying to be funny or anything, but as far as I know he hasn't advanced to the final four before.
Anyone know?

I think its time to see Steve Welmer at the Final Four. You see him on all the big games in the Big 12 and Big 10 but he has never got the call for the final four and I would say its time. My list:

Steve Welmer
Verne Harris
Scott Thornley
Mark Whitehead
Mike Thibedoux
Jim Burr - of course
Mike Kitts
Tim Higgins
Mike Sanzere- good official not sure final 4 material yet?- alternate
Ted Hillary

Question: where is Ed Hightower? I haven't saw him working anywhere since early January. Most seasons he is every where in the Big Ten, Big 12 and Big East. Just wondering?

He blew out his knee in a game about a month ago. He is done for the year. I do not know much more than that.

Peace

Why is it time to see Welmer at the Final Four?

The only thing Welmer is good for is a drinking came played on college campuses across the nation. Everytime he adjusts the waist of his pants you drink. If you've seen him....you drink early and often.
