I would say this is never going to happen, but never say never... So, I will say: This is extremely unlikely to happen any time in the near future.

The NCAA controls the tournament because it is their tournament. Conferences control their conference games because it is their conference. Coaches / schools agree which officials to use for non-conference games because those schools have control over those games (generally they agree to use the home conference officials, but not always).

It's all about control — and there is more interest by the conferences in being able to control their own product than there is in nationwide uniformity. Not that conferences do not want to have consistency around the nation — I just don't think they are willing to give up their control to see that happen.

Rules not uniformly being enforced:
- bench decorum
- sportsmanship/taunting
- freedom of movement (hand-check/blocking of cutters/screening)

Simply watch the differences in games between Big East, Big Ten, and PAC-12 games....clear differences!

IF John Adams is able to eliminate the conference assignors and move to Regional Assignors (assigning games for ALL schools w/in a region regardless of conference affiliation), he will be able to hold officials accountable and improve nationwide consistency.

Whenever John sends out a notice of how he wants specific plays/situations handled, within hours individual conference assignors send emails to their staff that essentially say: "don't do it that way...here is how I want it handled in my conference".
