Referee John Higgins
- Thread starter arganbright2
- Start date
Not Higgins, the older and heavier guy. Was a red head, lately a bad black color. And the crew out of KC, tall guy, short italian looking guy, they are usually pretty good. Were really chatty w/ courtside folks.
Hartzell does many things, has a stake in numerous businesses, has/had a race team, former UNI AD, etc.
He also used to have a baseball hitting program in Cedar Falls over the winter months. Not sure if he still does that or not.
Never got why refs do anything but ref. 1) you get paid enough in the season to sit on the beach in Florida from April - November 2) when do these guys get a chance to improve their skills, learn new things?
That was Rick Heller. Former UNI Baseball coach. Now coach at Iowa.
Hilarious that Rick Hartzell 'believes in family values'. Those 'values' must have caused him to have an affair with a student-athlete at UNI and leave his wife to marry her...
I knew Rick Heller had one, but I though Hartzell did as well. It's been years though.
Because it would be an insanely boring life to lead if you didn't have a job. Additionally having income for 4 months a year and then nothing the rest of the year would suck. Most of the ones I know have "travel friendly" careers on the side.
Each conference sends out material to their officials generally on a weekly basis in season and a monthly basis out of season. There are mechanics and rules classes you can also do online and/or live around the country.
Other way around, I think he drug her in
Don't know the circumstances but yes he is married to a former UNI athlete who is MUCH younger than him. She's a real nice lady too.
Wouldn't be surprised if Hartzell did. He was the baseball coach at Coe many years ago
I thought there were quite a few over-the-back calls that were missed as well as a few later in the game.
What I've concluded is that no matter who does the reffing when we play Kansas, they suck.
Here are some stats on Higgins in case anybody is interested or any other referee.
John Higgins - College Basketball Referee
John Higgins - College Basketball Referee
I think that number has to be for the entire crew for those games. Higgins is not calling 40 fouls per night.
Agree, and that is not extremely high... about average for most crews.
Some crews get closer to 43-44 on average per game if you look at the stats.
I'm aware of that. Seems high to avg. 40 a game. I could see the average in mid 30's
