He should still never be allowed to ref a UK game. His prejudice has already been revealed.
Totally agree...but, this could clear the way for him to do so.
And honestly, I kind of want him to ref a UK game. He couldn't possibly have a bad game against UK could he? Would raise so much attention on him I don't think he would dare have a terrible game.
He will never be assigned another UK game.Totally agree...but, this could clear the way for him to do so.

I don't think Higgins will want to ref a UK game again.
His family was terrified by the avalanche of BBN hate.
His family was terrified because some random fan left a Facebook review that said he pooped in their chimney?I don't think Higgins will want to ref a UK game again.

That's what I was thinking.Timing is, interesting...
How could this clear the path? The animus hasn't changed, in fact, on his side, he's probably even more annoyed.Totally agree...but, this could clear the way for him to do so.

Exactly. Complete nonsense. He was upset because he was exposed and then it was his best play to claim emotional distress. BBN is an easy target as we are extremely vocal.His family was terrified because some random fan left a Facebook review that said he pooped in their chimney?
Boo-hoo for Higgins.The worst version of BBN is when stuff like this happens. I don't care how bad he was or what call he missed, you should never, ever, ever message in any way the ref in his personal life. The lawsuit was frivolous and never going anywhere. But it's a shame he felt he needed to.
The only reason he "felt he needed it" was the almighty dollar that he thought he could gain. Plus, the victory he hoped to win in the court of public opinion.The worst version of BBN is when stuff like this happens.

BBN is no different than any other fanbase as far as the nuts. Just look at what Wisconsin fans did to a teenager Herro.The worst version of BBN is when stuff like this happens.

I'd love to see him lose his roofing business and everything else that wouldn't imperil any innocent kids unlucky enough to be his children.
He didn't have a "bad" game in either the Uconn, Wiscy or uncheat games. He was clearly biased and likely corrupt. He's a Cat Killer.Totally agree...but, this could clear the way for him to do so.

With Prejudice means that the lawsuit cannot be filed again. If a case is dismissed without prejudice, then it can be refiled during the statute of limitations period.I'm not well versed in legal terminology. Exactly what does "with prejudice" mean?
Yes, deny him the assignment. He should never have filed that lawsuit. Now there are consequences.The problem is that even if they have a policy that they won't assign him to UK games, if he advances in the tournament to the FF and final game, what would they do? Use him as an alternate? Deny him the assignment? It's tricky.
Don’t hold your breath because it will never happen.I won't be shocked at all when I see him calling another UK game. Just wait.
I would wait til game time and take my team to the locker room and I'm not kidding. Let the shock of that fall into the NCAA's lap.I won't be shocked at all when I see him calling another UK game. Just wait.
It happens all the time with other fan bases. It just so happens BBN is the most incredible in terms of sheer size and passion for the game of basketball. Others are just an echo in the dark compared to us.The worst version of BBN is when stuff like this happens.

Not just with the same claims, he cannot re-file based on the same underlying facts. Something new would have to occur for him to file a new lawsuit against Matt Jones.Dismissal with prejudice means that the case was decided as a final judgment on the merits. Not dismisssed for a technical or procedural defect with the pleadings. It means that Higgins can't re-file the action with the same claims.
Higgins is not super bright. In discovery, his roofing business financial records may have been produced. I suspect that he is using his roofing business to move illegal gambling proceeds into the banking system. Why else would a referee who travels extensively throughout half of the year own a cash-intensive construction business? I seriously doubt he does any roofing work himself during the offseason.
It would still be a bad idea. Just because his suit is over doesn't make him non-biased. Having a ref call a game with a school that he had sued is worse than having a ref hold up a tee shirt.
And you know that how other than Higgins stating it?
