This is an extremely young crew by Final 4 standards. Only 4 of the 10 Officials have worked more than 1 Final 4, only 3 have worked a Championship games and only 2 Officials have worked a Final 4 before 2012.
There will be 3 new Officials working on court for the Final 4. Roberts and Ogelsby have previously been alternates for the Final 4 so I expect both of them will be on the court. That means either Kimnble or Kissinger (both outstanding Officials) will be the alternate. Here are my guesses.
Loyola-Michigan- Stephens, Roberts, Kissinger Kansas-Villanova- McCall, Anderson, Ogelsby National Championship- Wymer, Sirmons, Ayers

DeRosa has had a weird 8 seasons working College. He has gone 2011-Sweet 16, 2012-Final 4, 2013-Nothing, 2014- National Championship, 2015- National Championship, 2016- Sweet 16, 2017- Nothing, 2018- Nothing. So he either gets at least the sweet 16 or doesn't work at all. I heard a rumor that JD Collins does not like DeRosa because it was between Collins and DeRosa for the National Coordinator Position and Collins did not like that DeRosa made it difficult for Collins to get his position so Collins is retaliating by not giving him Tournament Assignments. If that is true, which who knows, that is disgusting behavior from Collins. The reason I sort of believe it is Derosa is still getting many high profile assignments from the Big 12 including the last 2 Big 12 Championships but for some reason is not working the tournament. Now DeRosa is 60 years old so perhaps he might not be Final 4 caliber anymore but there is no way you can tell me he is not one of the 100 best Officials in the country. DeRosa chose not to work the last NCAA Tournament. www.vindy.com/news/2018/mar/13/curbstone-coaches-derosa-takes-an-early-/
