The "best" college hoops refs make much more than 60K per year. Guys like Doug Shows, Ted Valentine, John Higgins, etc. work 5 or 6 days a week.

Valentine worked the Maui Invitational championship game in Hawaii on the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving in November and was working an afternoon game in So Cal on Thanksgiving day the next day. That is a 6 hour red eye flight. Probably landed in LA about 6-7 AM pacific.

No chance that should be allowed imo but there is no real governing body until the NCAA Tourney.

Ted Valentine is to SECBB as Penn Wagers is to SECFB. That guy is garbage.

And I just picked a number at random. Pay them a nice decent salary and make them ref full time. Guys that are lawyers or other professionals for 35 weeks a year at 50 hours a week simply aren't going to be as good as guys who officiate full time.
