The first weekend is scheduled in advance. Gene (and anyone who worked one game last weekend) could still work this week.

I sure hope he does. I love the way he's able to interact with coaches and still stay focused. When he's tableside C, he spends more time with the whistle out of his mouth than in, but still gets the job done. I like to watch and learn from that; it is so much easier said than done.

Okay, I'll be the one. I think Steratore appears extremely lazy on the floor. He doesn't hustle into position, gets straight-lined too often, and often looks disinterested. Perhaps the reason he doesn't move deep into the tournament is simply because the other guys are better than him?

I agree about the hustle and that he looks disinterested at times.

Jeff Anderson is working the Region Final in Houston on Sunday.

How about Winston Stith? I noticed he doesn't seem to work the NCAA tournament. I would think he's worthy of a game or 2? Just asking

Mark Whitehead had a very poor game today, I doubt he moves on.

Was he the guy that called that foul that Vegas hated?

Guess Burr and Greene are out this year. Why

Burr hasn't worked the tournament since 2010 2011 season 5 years ago....

I'm pretty sure Big Jake knows that.

Wonder if the crew that had the Kentucky-W Va game will get anymore games? I watched those guys call all year and they called more fouls in that game than they did all season. No more games in the tournament called that close?

I'm sure John Adams will take your expert opinion into consideration.

He called last night and asked me about a few and I gave him your name so expect a call very soon!

Incorrect. You might have "watched those guys all year" but apparently you didn't see the 8 games where they also called 50 or more fouls.
