Per several twitter accounts tonight, these are the 10 men in New Orleans for the Final Four: i'll list their primary conference
Roger Ayers (ACC)
Les Jones (ACC)
Jamie Luckie (ACC)
Tom Eades (SEC)
Joe DeRosa (Big 12)
Verne Harris (WAC/Mtn West)
Mike Stuart (Big 12)
Doug Shows (SEC)
Pat Adams (SEC)
Mark Whitehead (Big 12)
there are schools from the Big 10, Big 12, Big East and SEC remaining, so I'd assume that the champ game will have one or two of the ACC guys on it. here's my completely random guesses
UK-UL - Mark Whitehead, Jamie Luckie and Mike Stuart
OSU-KU - Roger Ayers, Tom Eades and Joe DeRosa
Championship - Les Jones, Doug Shows and Verne Harris
Alternate: Pat Adams

Joe DeRosa will be one of the few officials to do a Final 4 and an NBA Championship Game.
Congrats to Mr. DeRosa. He can have his cake (family friendly schedule) and eat it too (high level basketball officiating).

Congratulations to Roger Ayers on his first Final Four assignment. It is richly deserved. Jamie Luckie and Les Jones will be working their third consecutive Final Four. Second straight for Doug Shows.

Who other than than Joe Forte has worked NCAA Final Game and NBA Finals? Can Joe DeRosa
join him.....Joe had a great career in the NBA....Good Luck to all.....
Will this assignment propel Jaimie Luckie to NBA?

Will this assignment propel Jaimie Luckie to NBA? The path to the NBA isn't at all like the path to the NFL. Officials who work in the NBA often do not reach the pinnacles of success at the NCAA level because they have developmental levels in basketball where officials can excel. Similar in baseball that MLB guys are not the ones who work several years of College World Series... So in other words, if Jamie Luckie wanted to be in the NBA, he would have taken a different route several years ago. |

I'm not sure for Jamie, and his age, but I do know that several times in the past 2-3 years, the NBA has invited Roger Ayers, but he has turned them down

Sean Corbin should be there.
He's in the top 10 of referees in the country.

I went 0-3 on my first game picks. The real crew was Joe DeRosa, Les Jones and Doug Shows. I also saw Roger Ayers as the alternate meaning Pat Adams is a lock for game 2 tonight.

Pat Adams, Jamie Luckie, and Tom Eades for Ohio State-Kansas. Which means Mark Whitehead, Mike Stuart and Verne Harris work Monday night.
