Winging It
Tim Higgins is old school officiating, commanding the floor like few others, controlling the game with his presence and swagger. If you're a fan of college basketball, you've seen him work hundreds of times. But that guy on the floor — despite less-than-crisp mechanics — is all business. Away from the game, he's good-time Timmy, nicknamed "Bullet" by his pals, and he has a voracious love for his buddies, his family, pizza and hot wings — not necessarily in that order!
Great Expectations
Running the game means a whole lot more than just putting the ball in play and making calls. Over the course of the past decade, our responsibilities have expanded. In any given game, we're part judge, doctor, cop and meteorologist. Why has that happened, and what can you expect from the future?
Get Over It
There is growing psychological evidence that overparenting and an amplified focus on self-esteem are ruining a generation of children. Kids are growing up in protective cocoons and are entering athletics without ever having "failed" before. Psychology Today called them a "Nation of Wimps," and officials have to deal with them.
You Are There: Miracle on Ice
Arguably the greatest sporting event of the Cold War era wasn't even a championship match. The American hockey team's gold medal win against Finland in the 1980 Olympics is almost an afterthought to the game that preceded it, the stunning underdog victory of the USA over the powerhouse Soviet team in the semifinals.
