He literally was visibly upset by a shot clock violations which was plain as day, but had to go over to the other two refs to discuss it, it was incredible. He swallowed the whistle when Notre Dame was on offense, unless it was a charging call, he was overly demonstrative. I couldn't believe it.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, I went back and watched the end of the Rutgers/St John's game in the Big East tournament last year, which had a very controversial ending and some poor calls at the end. And guess what? Mr Tim Higgins was a ref in that contest too. Nobody left the court quicker than him that day.
It's something to keep an eye on, and we should all probably make ourselves aware of when he is about to take the court.
