A Referee's Whistle-Stop Tour
An article about NCAA Official David Hall from Today's Washington Post - A few excerpts:
"Hall will work a quarterfinal game tonight in the Sun Belt tournament. It will be the 98th game he has refereed this season -- a new high for him, topping the 97 he worked last season. With luck, he will go well beyond 100 games before his season is over." "Guys such as Hall and East Coast officials Jim Burr, Tim Higgins and Mike Kitts (among others) are in so much demand these days that the second-tier leagues have taken to scheduling more games on Tuesdays and Thursdays in order to get them to work." "Hall will work five conference tournaments this week: the Sun Belt, Missouri Valley, Big 12, Mountain West and WAC. Then, a week from today, like the coaches and players, he will wait to hear if he has qualified for the NCAA tournament. It will be 23 straight years if he is chosen. If he makes the tournament, he will work a maximum of four games -- two the first week, one the second week and one -- he hopes -- in Detroit in April."
