Ditto. I think the games will be in very good hands this weekend.

Ever since Welmer, Higgins, and Hillary retired, and Jim Burr, Ed Hightower, and others have had their wings clipped by this John Adams person (who I think is trying to do his best Darrel Garretson impersonation), I really haven't been following NCAA officiating that closely. I don't think I could pick any of these officials out of a lineup.
That said, I congratulate all of the officials and hope they have great games.

My Guesses for this weekend's Games:
Wichita State VS Louisville- Karl Hess, John Higgins, Mike Eades
Michigan VS Syracuse- Mark Whitehead, Randy McCall, Doug Sirmons
Championship- John Cahill, Tony Greene, Les Jones
Alternate- Terry Wymer
*If Cahill does indeed work the championship this would be the third time in four years.
Also fifth straight final four for Les Jones! Wow that is impressive.However he has still never worked a championship game. Will this be his first? He has certainly paid his dues.
Nice to see Karl Hess, Tony Greene and Randy McCall return to the final four. They were final four regulars throughout the early 2000's but for the last 5 years or so have not been as consistent with Final 4 appearances.
The new guys are all deserving. Before this year Sirmons had worked three straight elite 8's and I knew it was a matter of time before he got a final four. Big Ten Officiating has been way down the last couple of years but the one guy who has consistently been in the sweet 16 is Terry Wymer. It took him a little while longer but his hard work has paid off and he is in a final four. And Eades has been one of the best in the ACC for awhile now and it is no surprise he got the call.
