We’re going to see all new referees calling league games, and that can't be a bad thing.
On Tuesday, the Big East announced that they were entering into a refereeing alliance with the ACC, the Atlantic 10, and the CAA.
This is great, great news for you, the Marquette fan.
Here’s what the press release says about the alliance:
The alliance, which begins immediately, enables the four conferences to work together on all officiating matters and will serve to enhance training, development, recruitment, retention and feedback for its basketball officials.
That all sounds very nice, but it doesn't hit the high point that I was looking for here.
