1st Star
John Higgins is one of the top basketball referees in the world. When Higgins is calling NCAA games the Officials101 search feeds come alive in ways reserved for the biggest games. March Madness is the biggest and most important time of the season for college basketball in the United States. Careers are made and broken during this tournament and Higgins is often chosen to cover the critical games and it is great to see articles like this one that recognize his skill. John Higgins gets 1st Star of the week.
