Seven people who threatened basketball referee John Higgins after an NCAA Tournament game in March have been identified. Information on them will be referred to authorities in their jurisdictions and to the FBI’s Omaha field office, a Nebraska prosecutor said Friday.

“Based on the investigation’s findings, our office has determined that no local charges will be filed and that pursuit of any criminal charges would be best served by deferring to authorities in the appropriate jurisdictions,” Polikov said in a statement to The Associated Press. “The length of the investigation was drawn out due in part to the large volume of potential evidence requiring analysis, and the multi-jurisdictional issues arising from the multiple states in which the communications originated.”

Hopefully the publicity from this will keep us from ever having to see Higgins call another game for us. He is one terrible official and obviously not a very caring person when it comes to Cal and Kentucky. All we want from the man is a fair shake, he stole the UNC game from us.

I wonder if it was intentional or that he was just that dumb?? Either way the NCAA should discipline him. Surely they could see the mistakes he was making. If not, they need to be fired.
