The bottom line is, no official with ties to any school should be allowed to call in a tourney game, let alone the regional final. The fact that Mink had called games in the 13th region at all should have made him ineligible for officiating in the 13th region tournament. It is so sad to see him make blatant calls that were in obvious favor of the host team, the team who his father in law was the SI for for years. Up 12 in the 4th and horrible foul call after horrible foul call in favor of KC put them in the perfect position.. not to mention the 5th foul on #21 for HC ended the game right then and there.
I dont know how true this is, but I have heard that mink and his brother also called the KC/NL game in the 1st round... wouldnt be surprised if some fishy things happened there as well.

No actually they didn’t call that game. They did call the Clay/Barbourville first round game. Even though they live in London, they call in the 12th region (I’m not sure why). Didn’t see the final, but whether anything was amiss or not, that’s still a bad look, surprised it was allowed to happen.
