NCAA Men's Tournament Officials (2015)

Nobody wanted the game? I have a hard time believing that officials at that level are shying away from marquee assignments (that pay about $3K to boot).

Why? That's just an empty assertion without additional information.

I would have took that game, so I do not know who qualifies as "nobody".

I do not remember Adams ever saying much either way about the officiating at the Final Four. He might talk about situations, but not the overall job of the officiating.

No. I meant we haven't heard who's replacing him. The new coordinator.
