Adams to retire as men's basketball officiating coordinator 

As coordinator of the NCAA’s men’s basketball officiating program, Adams assisted the Division I Men’s Basketball Committee with the selection and evaluation of officials for the championship. He also provided national leadership of officials, conference coordinators, regional advisors of officiating and coaches in the effort to bring increased consistency in the calling and enforcement of NCAA men’s basketball playing rules and points of emphasis.

Idk who the guys are reffing the Texas vs Texas tech game are but the big ten should hire them. Letting both teams be physical and not calling any cheap charges yet that I’ve seen

John Higgins was one of 'em.

 

And Kentucky fans would disagree with your assessment of him:

I talked to a referee a couple years ago who commented that the quality of refereeing declined when leagues started to hire flat bellies over round bellies There may be some truth to that.
