Dismiss Ed Hightower and end poor Big Ten officiating

Big Ten Basketball officiating should reflect the integrity of the great schools it represents. Unfortunately this is not the case.









We request that the Big Ten review poor performing basketball referees and to show interest and concern for the fans by eliminating poor performing referees.









We would suggest the Big Ten start by dismissing Ed Hightower as an example of a poor and miserable excuse for a NCAA Div 1 referee. As well as Donnie Gray.









This would go far in the perception of fairness and dedication to higher quality athletics in the Big Ten.
