Also earlier in the tournament J.D. Collins worked the Butler-Florida game in the NCAA Tournament and Collins lives very close to Indianapolis where Butler is located. Considering that officials work in multiple conferences, it would be somewhat unfair to only hire people based on only a geographic issue. NCAA Basketball is not like NCAA Football where all season you work in an area and only one conference.

I could be wrong but that is my take.

You have made a very good observation and I agree with you whole hardly. But, do not quote me but I think Dick Cartmell is one of the few mis-guided souls in the Columbus area who are Michigan fans. April Fool's!!
