SUPER BOWL XLIV OFFICIALS NAMED

Referee SCOTT GREEN will lead the seven-man crew of game officials selected to work Super Bowl XLIV this Sunday between the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts at Sun Life Stadium, the NFL announced today.

The other members of the Super Bowl XLIV officiating crew are UNDREY WASH (umpire), JOHN McGRATH (head linesman), JEFF SEEMAN (line judge), ROB VERNATCHI (field judge), GREG MEYER (side judge) and GREG STEED (back judge). The Super Bowl XLIV officiating crew collectively has 66 years of NFL officiating experience and 36 combined playoff game assignments.

Green, in his 19th season as an NFL game official, served as the back judge in Super Bowls XXXVI and XXXVIII. Promoted to referee in 2004, he has officiated in 12 playoff games – two Super Bowls, one conference championship, three divisional playoffs and six wild card games.

Under the NFL officiating program's evaluation system, the highest-rated eligible officials at each position earn the right to work the Super Bowl. Super Bowl officials must have at least five years of NFL experience and previous playoff assignments.

JIM LAPETINA is the replay assistant. The video operator is JIM PEARSON.
