He might have some Illinois bias since he's from there, but seriously, Ed Hightower is one of the better refs out there.
He's got a master's and specialist degree from SIU and a doctorate from St. Louis.

So he's not the worst in the country. Big deal. He's overrated and he's an ego freak. When I watched as he spent five minutes verifying whether a shot was taken before the clock expired, and he then leaped into his act signalling it was good, but FAILED to see what everyone else saw - that the shooter's foot was about ten inches over the trey line - I gave up on this donkey. He called it a good three pointer.
What an incompetent ass. It's all about ED as opposed to getting the calls correct. He must be blowing the selection people.
