Anyone that's a member here working in this years NCAA tournament???

coaches pick refs?
Most interesting statement from article for me was:
"Every year, there's always a question of whether these guys are working too hard. Back in 2010, John Clougherty, the supervisor of officials for the ACC, told the New York Times that the workload issue "has been an ongoing problem for 20 years," but coaches want those seasoned vets over and over." I didn't know that coaches picked (or had significant input) in selecting the officials at the college level. Is this common in all conferences? Seems like it would result in a conflict if officials have an incentive to please the coaches in order to continue to get top games. |
I seriously doubt that the D1 coaches have any significant say in who works their games.
However, I'm also sure that they certainly make their preferences known to their ADs and perhaps the officials supervisors in the respective conferences. I was once told by a D1 official that all of these coaches have control of those big, beautiful facilities, the lives of 12 or so kids, the careers of their assistants, etc....About the only thing they don't have control of is those three guys out there in the striped shirts...and that drives them crazy....so they would prefer to have a known entity (veteran official) vs an unknown (new guy in the conference). |

You'd think that for the most important games of the year, and with the restrictions they put on the guys, they'd make the pot a little sweeter. As the article mentions, they're pulling in a ton of money on this tournament.

I get your point, and I'd be thrilled to get an assignment even as an alternate official. I just think that for the sport's marquee event, they should pay accordingly. |
