Agree? Disagree? Thoughts?

I think it's a great idea but agree that it needs to be a retired official.

Fox hit the nail on the head by having the former head of officiating on camera. Who better to ask rules questions?

Announcers may not like it because they would finally learn how stupid they really are when it comes to rules.

it's not the ncaa tournament, but I think the officiating in the Washington State-Northwestern game has been beyond fantastic. They've had some tough calls and have done a perfect job.

We'll see if any of these 12 work in the NCAA tournament this coming weekend.

NIT quarterfinals:
Northwestern/Wash State --Officials: Kelly Self, Dick Cartmell, Eric Curry

Charleston/Wichita State--Officials: Alfred Smith, Terry Oglesby, Ray Natili

Miami (FL)/Alabama--Officials: Wally Rutecki, Earl Walton , Jeff Anderson

Kent State/Colorado--Officials: Chris Rastatter, Keith Kimble, Kevin Brill

Well, a good number of those officials didn't work the NCAA tourney the first week so we know they won't be going. But we did have a Earl Walton sighting.

It seemed that in past years only Big East and ACC guys were working the NIT. Does anyone know how those are assignments are being handled this year??

I noticed that in the past also but I don't if my perception was actually fact.
