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.

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.

Odd that Sirmons works conferences furthest away from his home.

Sounds LIke Kersey is a solid guy who helps others out and has paid his dues and made an early impact on your officiating career

When I first got into officiating he used to hold 2 high school camps every summer. It was rather informal, but I for one soaked up what he used to say. First thing I remember him doing was showing a fight from one of his CAA games and explaining why the Center and new Lead have to be engaged with off-ball coverage during transition.

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.
