Does anyone actually know how the officals are assigned during the tournament? I know they are eveluated, and those that grade out highest advance to the next round. Is this done round to round, or site to site?
For instance...If there are 12 officials assigned to a site for Round 1, do the top 6 from that site work the second round games at that site? This would be my assumption. If so, that is a good news bad new story. The good news is, Reggie Greenwood worked the Memphis game last night, so we wouldn't have to worry bout him. We never win when he works one of our games. The bad news of course is that there was a Higgins siting in Aneheim the other day. Highly unlikely he would work Teaxs A&M's second consecutive game. Gulp!
I just wonder about that though because if I am able to go through that process of elimination that easily, would people with umm....'ties to the gambling community' be able to do the same thing and "target" certain guys?
