Spoken with the right accent, hammour can sound French, which is an official language on Canada, you know.

Considering a Big East outcast is working a Big Ten quarter, I was wondering what would you say are the "conference prestige rankings" for officials to work? [Yes, yes, working is prestige enough.]

Big East
SEC
ACC
Big 12
Big 10
Pac 10
A10
Mountain West
C-USA

Not the right way to look at it, IMO.

Doesn't really have anything to do with it. For all we know, he was already scheduled to work the Big Ten Tournament.

Tim Clougherty worked DePaul-UConn on Tuesday and Marquette-WVU on Wednesday in NYC and then, PSU-Wisconsin on Friday in Indy.

It's not unusual for officials to work more than one conference tournament.

Statsheet.com has him listed as Carl Walton. Wonder if he had the scorer change his name after the game?

As part of being re-instated, I'm not allowed to talk about the polar bear incident any longer.

Likely my fault, and I apologize. I was busy deleting lots of spam, and you probably got caught in the cross-fire. Did you respond to any spam posts?
