I think he messed up his knee in January. I think I read from a previous post.

Blew out his knee in the second half of the regular season. Out for the year at least.

He's been in the mix the past few years. Probably backing him out and getting some other officials in there.

I believe he had a knee issue back in January, and was done for the season.

Game note from Febuary 8, 2007 in the Purdue 62-38 win over MSU:

Referee goes down
Veteran game official Ed Hightower was helped to the Michigan State bench with a left knee injury with 7:13 remaining in the first half. Hightower left the court and did not return.
Glenn Mayborg and Eric Curry worked as a two-man crew for the rest of the game.

Hightower needed surgery for a torn ACL and was done for the season.
