Oldest working D1 official?

[Rich]

Hillary has worked 26 D1 games this season according to StatSheet.

I've seen Burr a few times this season and, despite his age, still seems to keep up pretty well.

Hillary played at St. Joseph's in Indiana--graduated in '70 I believe, which would make him 64 or 65.

Rich, are you missing a smiley here? Without talking about right, wrong or missed calls, it has been probably 10+ years since Burr has really kept up with players on the court. For instance, every time the ball is inbounded, he has a head start since he is near the free throw line before the ball comes in.

This isn't about final four experience or call accuracy only the statement that he has been keeping up.

Personally, I think that piece is just a bad habit. I could be wrong.

I watched a game a few weeks ago where I spent a while watching him run the floor and, quite frankly, I've seen worse.

Sounds like I'm damning with faint praise, so I should just stop.
