Don’t really know the names but Courtney Green was the name most people seemed shocked about on social media, so I guess it’s good he’s the standby guy.

Patrick Adam's I believe was the ref back when Hurley and Frank Haith got double technicals and thrown out a few years ago.
The 3 are all in the top 21 of KenPom's ref ratings.
Szelc called our 7 point win at Butler. Clingan didn't play, Karaban fouled out. He called Alabama's first round win over Charleston. Szelc's last game was Purdue's win over Gonzaga. Szelc worked the Xavier game 2 years that Hurley got a tech in, but it was a different ref that called the T (though Szelc called the initial fall that led to the upset-ness). We were 4-0 in Szelc games last year.
Groover called 5 of our games this year. @Creighton, loss. Clingan with 2 fouls 5 min in. 36 point win at DePaul, the ugly foul fest at home vs. Providence (not really refs fault tho), our win home vs. Creighton, and our win vs. UNC in NYC. He called a blowout nonconference win for Alabama. Groover was on the Purdue/Tennessee elite 8 game. After the Providence game Hurley called the crew "Final Four, national championship game-caliber refs." Indeed, Groover worked the title game last year.
Adams hasn't seen us at all this year or last year. He's called 5 Alabama games: their home loss vs. Tennessee, their 4 pt home win over Auburn, their 3 pt win at Vandy, their 11 pt neutral loss to Ohio State, and a blowout nonconference win. Adams' last game was the Marquette loss. And as @BFieldHusky mentioned, Adams was involved in ejecting Hurley/Haith in 2019 (he gave the first tech after warning both coaches a few seconds before).

Oh no, not that crew!!!
I thought the same thing last year when I found out he was officiating the UConn-Miami game last year because of his bad history with Dan Hurley. Surprisingly, Jeff was solid in the Final Four game.

Just let the kids play. This is their day, not yours. You’ll be doing the country a favor by being invisible.
