2011 NCAA Tournament Officials (Master Thread)

[Nevadaref]

Jim Burr is working the Nebraska at Wichita St game right now.
I believe that there is some NCAA regulation about working a game in the couple of days prior to working an NCAA tourney game, so by doing this NIT contest on Wednesday it indicates to us that Jim Burr won't be working tomorrow in the NCAAs. However, Friday & Sunday are possible.

We'll have to see what the fallout from that St. John's/Rutgers game amounts to for him.

Jim Burr just worked the Nebraska/Wichita St. NIT game with Rick Hartzell & Kip Kissinger.

Someone remind me, can you work an NIT game before an NCAA assignment (2 days out, if they're working Friday?)

[JugglingReferee]

According to this, Friday and Sunday are possible.

Yes. I saw Roger Ayers working an NIT game and he will definitely be in the tournament.

Also, Earl Walton worked an NIT game.

Maybe Burr does not want to take a pay cut.

Curious: do these guys work NIT games before this week?

Interesting is the part about last year's Villanova/RMU game.

Funny thing is that I realized right away it was Mike Sanzere in the game b/c of his build before I recognized Pat Adams, whom I've met in person, and Joe Derosa, whom I've obviously seen on TV many times.

Now you've done it. Someone will be along to whine that you're doing his job.

I thought there was a thread going with this info in it. I also saw where someone complained that it was their claim to fame on this board and someone took their job.
That being said, they can simply add it to the thread or whatever else, I won't be doing this all day, Thank God.
