It is entirely possible that the NCAA observer missed it.
Did someone send an email? Do you think that those folks read this site?
Have you seen an article in the press mentioning it?

Why do I think John Adams should be aware? I don't know, maybe because it was one of only 2 games being played in that timeslot and the game was in overtime and the other game had ended and the 2 late games hadn't started yet. So I kinda figured all eyes would be on that game at that particular point in time.

And since the announcers and studio crew never once mentioned it it doesn't surprise me that other media outlets were unaware as well. Of course I didn't know media attention is what validates whether or not a mistake was made. :rolleyes:

They are best friends. And they run a camp together, or at least they used to.

Their personalities are different, Mike is more of a personable type while I believe Roger has a law enforcement background and that carries onto the court.

I'm a little surprised not to see Mike Stephens on that list. He went to the semis last year and I thought the feedback on him was excellent. I thought he would go back with a chance to work the final.

Pat Adams, Roger Ayers, Joe DeRosa, Tom Eades, Verne Harris, Les Jones, Jamie Luckie, Doug Shows, Mike Stuart, & Mark Whitehead

Is this THE list or is it speculation?

If it's on the internet then it just has to be true. They would never allow something on the Internet that wasn't true? Right?

It is still entirely possible that Adams and his observers didn't pick up on the mistake just like all of the others you mention.
Obviously they can't incorporate something into their evaluations of which they aren't aware, despite the fact that they should be aware of it.

Another noticable missing: Ed Corbett. Of course, he was involved with the UNC-Asheville/Syracuse mess.

The fact that Ayers, Eades and Luckie all worked at least 95 games this season and are in the top 4 for number of games worked seems to disprove that theory.

Adams was in Atlanta at the Georgia Dome that night. I seriously doubt he saw that incident.
