Knowing Higgins, he will probably have a game on the west coast tomorrow night. Don't really put much stock in the three blind mice's (Higgins, Burr, Hightower) location prior to a game. They will travel cross-country overnight to ref a game the next day.

For what it's worth, earlier this week I saw this on a volleyball website that I read.  The author coaches in the WAC:

"I just happened to see an Official's invoice for a recent men's basketball game at my school.  $925.00 game fee, $250.00 per diem, plus the cost to travel to game.  There are three officials which are on the basketball court during a game, and the cost of this invoice was over $5,000.00.  For the basketball game alone, the cost of on court officiating is $2,775.00.  Early in my tenure, my administrator asked if there was a way to reduce the officiating costs of a home Volleyball tournament because they were around $2,000.00 (for 6 matches).  Amazing!"

Isn't $250 Per Diem more than a Pro BBaller gets?
