NCAA Men's Tournament Officials (2015)

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.

That was my first thought when I saw the post saying he would work the final. To a lesser degree, the same thing happened to Curtis Shaw several years ago before he took the supervisor position. At this point, I'd be surprised if Derosa isn't named JA's replacement. But, I've been surprised before...

Was hoping Keith Kimble would get a Final Four.

Not surprised Higgins got another one, him and DeRosa are 2 of the best. I'd love to see DeRosa get the national coordinator position.

Also not surprised that Oglesby didn't work past the first weekend, since he had such a bad couple of games

According to what I have heard they are holding off the announcement because one of the candidates (DeRosa obviously) is still working this season.

There are also holding off the announcement until they get all the conference supervisors together, which is what happens at the Final Four.

I've heard Adams initially wanted to do the announcement before the start of the tournament so his replacement could shadow him, but obviously DeRosa working deep changed that.
