If I cared enough about who works what games, I'm sure I could find out. Seems you care, so I figured you actually made the effort to ask someone who knows, since you seem to have connections on this information. The fact that they haven't worked the tournament in a couple of years tells me you're not surprised.

I'm still waiting for him to ask where Tim Higgins is this year.

Who we didn't see this weekend ???
 
Based on the last few years was there anyone who you expected to see but didn't get the call...For me it is Tom Eades and Dwayne Gladden. I'm thinking that Eades paid for the physicality of the MD / WVU game.... Thoughts ???

Honestly, sometimes I just can't help myself. I thought I held off quite well this year, though.

I'm tellin' ya, I just think JA isn't a big fan of GS. I respect his judgment, but I also respectfully disagree. Was sad not to see GS working in the regional semis.

I saw a tweet that he was at a table for a regional. I do not know if they assign regionals the same as the FF, but it wouldn't surprise me if they did. 3 crews, 1 alternate.

Interestingly enough, at the B1G Tournament, Carstensen was the alternate for the championship (with Lamont Simpson, Steratore, and Wymer working). Interesting how perceptions change from assigner to assigner.

Wow, Kersey finally got in. He was the first college official I ever interacted with. There are things I heard from him in my first 2-3 years of officiating that are still part of my basic foundation of officiating.

I doubt DeRosa will work the final given he worked the final last year.

The finals officials were listed on Twitter: Stephens, DeRosa, Driscoll.

Clark's the alternate.

Derosa is on the final.... Does anyone else think maybe this means he got the national coordinator job? Goes out on top....when will they announce that?

With the tournament being in Indy, and with John Adams being an Indy guy, I'm guessing they will announce it at the conference coordinators meeting this week.
