The Flea Market Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Has he been in time out long enough? Will he ever get the honor of calling another UK game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJAlltheWay24 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Maybe he and the scheduler agreed it was best that he didn't work their games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcats1990 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 He will never REF a KY game ever again. His business couldn’t handle another BBN wave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikeman49 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 John Higgins could care less either way, officials take the schedule they are given and officiate. He doesn’t have any problems officiating a game every single night. And does a very good job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are serious about the "honor" part right? That guy has a pretty strong officiating resume. The best officials treat every game as their "big" game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Flea Market Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 I talked to many college officials and they all say it cuts deep when you get scratched from any school. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they shouldn't be officials. Not to mention, a school can't control what officials are assigned to their games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFire Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 If he is comfortable being assigned a UK game, then I think they should give him some games on the road (I wouldn't ask him to do it at Rupp for a while). Send the message that a fanbase is not going to be allowed to manipulate the system to keep an official from working their games. Kentucky fans HATE Doug Shows - hasn't kept him from officiating their games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Flea Market Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 It is a unwritten rule that if you make mad a whole state or have a bad issue your assigner will not send you there, Higgins is not a SEC official so the only games he would get would be games like the Champions classic and UK would have to agree on the refs. He will probably never call a UK game as long as Cal is here! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
