Certainly can’t blame every loss the on the refs, but at least they owned up to a mistake. They have managed to keep it pretty fair now that King Karl is out of the picture. The ACC acknowledged that the game officials made a mistake toward the end of Wake Forest’s 88-84 win over N.C. State on Tuesday […]
Around 3:05pm on Saturday afternoon – deep in the the second half of the ACC Tournament semi-final game that saw significant national criticism befall the Atlantic Coast Conference officiating crew who called 42 phenomenally inconsistent fouls – I got a couple of strange tweets come through our SFN Timeline. Someone had re-tweeted a tweet from […]
They might as well make it official. That was beyond bias. It was outright crooked. Karl Hess got his revenge. If you don’t follow our twitter feed then you really need to check it out. SFN was ALL OVER many of the local and national media’s admittance of ACC officiating bias and incompetence today. Link […]
There is a massive flurry of discussion on the boards and the blog against last night’s game against Duke. So ‘Pride, why are you writing yet another article about the game? Simple: because I found something that had been posted prior to last night’s game that was interesting. Ironically, it was sitting right under my […]
Lack of Fouls Key for UNC “Historically, even looking back to when Dean Smith coached, UNC has just been a team that doesn’t foul that much,’’ said John Clougherty, the That is a statement from the head of the ACC officials not some UNC PR firm. Can someone explain to me how 4 coaches over […]
ACC officiating coordinator Doug Rhoads said today that Ron Cherry’s officiating crew handled the spot of the ball correctly on a key fourth-down play during the final minute of Maryland’s 38-31 defeat of N.C. State on Saturday. The officials gave Adams what appeared to be a generous spot of the ball, and coach Tom O’Brien […]
SFN wanted to share some great news with you – come hell or high water, NC State WILL be represented in the ACC Championship football game in Charlotte this year!!! We’ve learned from some of our connections at the conference office that Doug Rhodes, supervisor of ACC football officials, has asked the chain crew that […]
Jesus. Right before one of our ‘defining’ games for the season. Obviously, Smith should have just called the refs a bunch of GD MutherF’ers right on the court during the game so that he could be afforded the same flexibility that Coach K and Gary Williams receive on a nightly basis. Link to Wolfpacker RALEIGH, […]
If the ACC really wants to claim the “Best college basketball in the country†title, they have to fix their officiating. I won’t even go into some of the calls during the game (it’s a bad sign when both coaches are pissed off at the referees). The calls were bad enough, but they had to […]
For two programs on such dramatically opposite performance arcs, the head-to-head record is startling – the Pack has won 6 games in a row. For Hokie fans, it must be hard to imagine what your program might have accomplished if not for this strange losing streak. I’m sure Seth Greenburg (aka “Basketball Grobe”) would prefer […]
