I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I saw Jim Burr working a 1st round NIT game. I could be wrong again, but I'm assuming he'll get at least a semi in the NCAA's

Jim Burr was doing an NIT game this week. The rumour is that he is ineligible for the NCAA tournament because of a paper work glitch. Don't know if that's a fact.

Gotta love red tape.

Welmer worked a 1st round NIT game at the University of Florida. I would imagine he will get some action in the big boy tournament.

Bryan Kersey and Karl Hess each worked NIT games prior to working NCAA first round games. This seems to be a change from past practice where officials didn't work NIT games until they were done working in the NCAA tourney.
