@moneylinemac_ Yup! Link me!

On repeat until Saturday. No further questions.

@RefObserver17 @CycloneMBB @KUHoops Old big east pals Gaffney and Anderson back together!!

🚨🚨ESPN Big 12, Big Monday 🚨🚨 (8) Iowa State Cyclones vs (16) Kansas Jayhawks @CycloneMBB @KUHoops 📍 Allen Fieldhouse ✈️ Lawrence, KS 📅 2/3/25 ⏰ 9pm EST 📺 ESPN Kipp Kissinger (R) 3 NCAA Final Fours 🏆 John Gaffney NCAA Elite 8 Jeffrey Anderson 7 NCAA Final Fours 🏆

@RefObserver17 @UConnMBB @MarquetteMBB @FOXSports Breeding, Driscoll, Hampton to name a few in the BE

@Apirone14 @UConnMBB @MarquetteMBB @FOXSports Ive said it before - best compliment I can give is that coaches, assignors etc want you on their away games. Nobody wants to see Greg Evans on the road

🚨🚨FOX Saturday Primetime🚨🚨 (25) Connecticut Huskies vs (9) Marquette Golden Eagles @UConnMBB @MarquetteMBB 📍 Fiserv Forum ✈️ Milwaukee, WI 📅 2/1/25 ⏰ 8pm EST 📺 FOX @FOXSports Ron Groover (R) 6 NCAA Final Fours 🏆 Tony Chiazza NCAA Sweet 16 Matt Potter NCAA Sweet 16

@RefObserver17 @UConnMBB @MarquetteMBB @FOXSports Evans swallow the whistle for the home team...Potter likes to add theatrics into a late game call like an offensive foul that fires up the crowd.....

@Apirone14 @UConnMBB @MarquetteMBB @FOXSports you must be thinking of greg evans

In the building for UConn v SDSU @RefObserver17 as expected well done job from this crew! Jeff Clark staying young by keeping the benches sitting at ALL times!

@RefObserver17 💯💯💯

Working Big 12 and Big East Conference Games remains the best predictor and indicator for advancement in the NCAA Tournament. Hardest games to work, best atmospheres and the strongest roster of officials. A golden ticket of sorts

@frankingeneral Watch other conferences… the big east has it pretty good. I’ll leave Clark and breeding out but cmon

@frankingeneral 🤡 ridiculous take

This list is absolute proof that there is no accountability and no repercussions for trash officials. Driscoll, Gaffney, Breeding, Chiazza, Clark, and J. Anderson have no business near second weekend games… …and I’m not here to solely cast aspersions, solid officials like Burroughs and Clougherty got left out in favor of these idiots #MarchMadness

@RefObserver17 Hard to see the rationale giving Clark and Potter the nod over Farrell

Officials advancing to the Sweet 16 and Elite 8. Some stalwarts, newcomers and some surprises.

@BenSchmidt9 Stay composed

@RefObserver17 @joseph_curry16 @NotTommyBusam @ChargeOconnell @highkneesref @AyersRefTracker Busy watching gaffney put on a master class… I’ll be in Boston for the next round right in gaffs back yard!

This is a lovely idea @joseph_curry16 . I’ll bring some nachos and ice cold beverages. Let’s also include new pals @NotTommyBusam @Apirone14 as well as old friend @ChargeOconnell . Perhaps we can catch @highkneesref on the TV later. @AyersRefTracker will pick up the bill

@RefObserver17 Pat can handle anything 💪

Combo of Pat & Pat ft KB in Omaha for Iowa State and Washington State. Pat Adams been at this thing for a long time. Burdett a solid SEC official. Won’t find many bigger Patrick Driscoll fans than me and @Apirone14 . WORST mechanics of any P6 official but he gets plays right 👍🏻

@discoandhaze @RefObserver17 Somewhat agree but he handles court. His temper never causes issues in his play calling and most importantly handles coaches the same no matter their status.

@RefObserver17 Lol. Is there anyone you don’t like? Hampton is a total clown with a bad temper who holds grudges. Not composed enough for that stage. Agree about Farrell.

Keith Kimble is an outstanding official, did title game last year. Brent Hampton is excellent has been knocking on F4 door for a few years, think he breaks through soon. Nate Farrell is going to be a name you will hear for years…. he will work probably 4-6 Power conferences soon

@RefObserver17 Greg Evans in big moments is a bit scary still, I understand we need younger guys moving up… however Palau has earned everything’s he’s getting, has been rock solid in the big east

The officiating in the Texas Tech NC State game has not been good

@RefObserver17 💯💯

Lamar Simpson and John Gaffney are two officials I think should advance farther this year in the tournament than they have previously. Really solid officials.

@JRbroadcaster @BIGEAST @HoyasWin @STOUT_NYC_GC @ZachZaidman @DavePopkin @WRigsby14 @JohnBishop71 @_robanderson What great crew ! Hope you’re doing well Rooke!

Our inaugural meeting of the @BIGEAST broadcasters Association + celebration of @HoyasWin's 50th season tonight @STOUT_NYC_GC! Front @zachzaidman @davepopkin In back @WRigsby14 @JohnBishop71 @_robanderson Rich Chvotkin + me. No ref talk. Ok, a little. #voicesofthebigeast

I’ll be in the building for the big Cooley return to friartown this weekend, and big thanks to @mattfall0n. Can’t wait to see who the Big East assigns for officals on Saturday @RefObserver17

@RefObserver17 Rarely makes calls against home team. Had him on a few Midwest road big East game last 2 years from my personal experience

Really bad miss by Greg Evans in Seton Hall Creighton.

@DalyDoseOfHoops Hampton handles business

If you know a St. John’s or Creighton fan, take the time to do a wellness check on them. James Breeding, Nathan Farrell and Brent Hampton are on the whistle in Omaha. That’s got shitshow written all over it. #sjubb #GoJays
