I thought number two was properly called as simply an out of bounds, BTW.

I thought the foul was on the long inbounds pass where it looked like the Rutgers player got clocked.

Adams seems like a jerk -- praising Burr (who as the trail missed this call) and essentially throwing the other two under the bus. What's really comical is that it sounds like he commented without even seeing the play.

In the video, Timmy managed to beat the young guy (Walton) in the race to the locker room.

+1...Nice!

If you but a different face and name on Tim Higgins right now and had him go to camp nobody would hire him. It is so hard for guys to say goodbye especially with the money out there...this is a tough call for the assigner to let veteran (Final Four) officials go.

Who are "they?"

Are "they" the Assignors who want Higgins and Burr to work for them or the Leagues and coaches who request they work their games?

Just curious.

As long as there are assignors and coaches that are comfortable with both officials, then we'll be seeing both of them next year...on ESPN weekly. All Adams has the power to do is not select either for the dance.

I was the one who started the Tim Higgins thread. I can only hope he steps away the game has passed him by. Otherwise, I am blind in one eye and cant see out of the other. Its time.

And you're proud of that? You're also the one who's crapped all over Ted Hillary, Steve Welmer and a few other officials in the course of your posting history.

What D1 conferences have you worked in?

A good share of bigjake's threads deal with concerns he has about certain officials. I think he wants to skenk their games from them.

And who the hell made you king? You sound as if you are best buds with these guys. I started the thread asking about his health. I think he is beyond his years of keeping up. You can kiss my ***!

What makes you think Art Hyland wouldn't want them working in the conference next year?

Only 3 Jakes on Statsheet. Only one worked in the OVC. I doubt Dr. Jake Bell would take time from supervising the A-Sun to come here and bang on officials.
