What do you mean by "the school probably requested Higgins"??? The schools generally don't even know who will be officiating their games until the day before or day of the game...

It's my understanding that schools can request certain officials. Can anyone shed some light? Is this incorrect?

schools do not get to "request" officials for their games....it doesn't work like that. They "get" whoever Art Hyland assigns to the Big East games.

Not sure about schools / coaches requesting officials ... However, they definitely know who is officiating their games well in advance of one day. In some leagues it is two weeks in advance, in others the entire season.
