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 ***!

Why is Burr 94' from the throw-in? He is standing on the endline in the middle of the paint. He is no help on the play. If he had set up free throw line extended to help with the catch and any 3-point attempts he would have been in position to view the OOB.

+1 I was wondering if it was a new mechanic thing. It looked like he went to the middle of the lane to get a good angle to officiate the long throw. But IMO, he would have had a better angle FT line extended. It would have given him a great look had there been a drive to the basket, would have given him great position to see if there was a foul (which I don't think there was) and put him in PRIMO position for the end of the game kerfluffel.

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.
