No offense, but they're watching off-ball, too. Nobody gets to the NCAA tournament without officiating off the ball.

Watching ? Probably so, although I haven't noticed a bunch of off ball calls.
Must be the smart play.

Scrapper, no offense taken. If you watched that game I was talking about you would have seen that crew obviously watching the ball and that isn't always the case. I'm sorry if I've never drank the Kool-Aid - making it on TV doesn't mean that when I see an official ball-watching on my TV screen they aren't really doing it.

On another note, Jamie Luckie, Gary Maxwell and Ed Hightower are doing the Xavier/UCLA game. The ACC has some strong representation this weekend. I don't know if I've seen Karl Hess during the tournament, but unless he had a paperwork snafu I would be surprised to not see him this weekend.

Jamie Luckie just called an intentional foul for grabbing the jersey. A great call that is sometimes overlooked or called as a common foul.

Karl Hess worked the Michigan St - Memphis game on Friday night.
