NIT final

[Jay R]

A couple of years ago, Burr was not assigned to the NCAA Tournament because he had failed to do the proper paperwork and a big deal was made of it. I doubt seriously he would not have done it this year. I'm speculating John Adams feels that Burr's time has passed and he wants younger/quicker officials. Notice that Tim Higgins was also left off this year.

I have no idea who assigns the NIT but obviously he/she/they felt that this crew was the appropriate crew for the final.

I have ZERO inside knowledge of this stuff, but if I had to guess, I'd agree with Jay 100%.
