are these officials related to each other?
I've heard that NCAA officials Tim Higgins and John Higgins are father and son, respectively. Because they do not look like they're related, I question this. Does anyone have some authoritative information? Thank you.

No, I worked with John's brother Kelly who was the AD at the University of Alaska Fairbanks in the mid-late 90's.
Also found this about Tim: http://www.referee.com/more/Samples/...wingingit.html "What makes Higgins most remarkable is he has excelled in his demanding role at Kamco while becoming one of the all-time giants among collegiate basketball officials. And all the while, he has steadfastly remained a devoted family man in Ramsey, N.J., who has raised three daughters – Colleen, 24, Meaghan, 22, and Patricia, 18 – with his wife of more than 25 years, Kathy." |

Great ref...I've been lucky enough to see him work a couple of games in person..can't describe the pressence he has and the respect he commands.

I don't know about those two guys, but Earl Strom is my virtual uncle. :)

No, they are not related
No, John is from Omaha and his father is Roger Higgins. Roger was a long-time coach and athletic director in various high schools in Omaha.
