I was surprised to see Rutecki make the tournament because his only conference tournament assignment was a Patriot League quarter-final.

He works games in several (Big East, A10, MAAC, NEC, Patriot and Ivy) conferences. He obviously received consistantly good ratings from his assignors or he would not have been selected.

It was a quarterfinal when he was rather inconsistent, but not as terrible as I've seen him perform before. It was one of the better games I saw him have this year, but I also saw him have one absolutely terrible game in terms of performance and game management.

In case you're wondering how I know this, I go to one of the schools in that PL quarter he worked, and was at every home game this year.

Who cares?

I watch basketball on TV. Does that make me qualified to rip the officiating?

To qualify, you really should have to be in either your first year of officiating or live in California, but being a student in the stands works just as well too, Rich.

If it were, you'd have an awfully sore head!!

Gotta love these guys who come on here to tell us how bad the officials are who were chosen to work the biggest college tournamnet in the nation...what a bunch of losers.
