Tim Higgins
I thought for sure in the summer I saw an article stating that he was retiring, then I just watched the Texas/Chaminade highlights, and there was someone officiating who looked an awful lot like him, and I look at the box score, and sure enough his name was there.

No, Tim Higgins, while watching the highlights, I thought it looked a lot like him, but then I said it can't be because he retired, so I went to the box score, and Tim Higgins was there. In fact, looking at statsheet.com, he worked the Penn/Delaware game a week ago.

What's more troubling is the 110 fouls called in his two games thus far. Obviously not all called by him, but those must have been two hack fests!

A friend of mine called me earlier tonight with the same question.
His retirement was announced last March: Longtime refs Tim Higgins, Bob Donato to retire - NCAAB - Sporting News

Evidently, he thought otherwise.

Jim Burr is a D3 assognor and at his pre-season meeting, he mentioned that the Hawaii tourney was Higgins' farewell.

Tim Higgins
Hank Nichols who assigns the Maui tournament sent Tim Higgins there as a "reward" for his work the past 25 years or so. Classy move by Hank.

You definitely have the eyesight to be an official because even I can tell the difference between the two of them.

I thought all white men with white hair looked alike? Considering I get assumed to be someone else that I look nothing like, I thought that applied to everyone.

BTW, I saw that Higgins did work the game in question. I was not home and saw the highlights of another game where Jim Burr was working.

Peace

No need to be confused
Both Burr and T. Higgins worked the Maui championship game.
