The author would not have noticed the wrong FT shooter had it not been caught and corrected.
I'm not so sure about that. I posted video of that situation in another thread. Len Elmore and Reggie Miller both picked up on it right when it happened. All Feinstein had to have been doing was listening to the broadcast.

There is no mention of the incorrect awarding of FTs for the team control foul in the OT of the UNC/Ohio game.
Keep in mind, he may have written it before the Ohio/UNC game was played.

At any rate, I agree with his premise as well. I know I felt like I hit a wall this season - while working the most games I've ever worked - and that was with a schedule half the size as the big-time guys and way less travel. I've wondered a few times during all of our discussions about officials' mistakes in the NCAAs whether fatigue played a role.

The idea of officials only working one tournament at a time is a good one as long as the fees in all of the tournaments go up.
