It is a shame that the
caliber of the refereeing at
ACC games is not up to that of
other parts of the country. It
isn't even comparable to the
caliber of the ACC basketball
players. This observation is not
that of a biased Wahoo; for all
teams that play ACC colleges
suffer.
The ACC is undoubtedly
the most exciting and talented
conference in the nation. ACC
teams have always been
nationally recognized. Why,
then, can not the conference
officials hire referees that are
as talented? What we want to
see is not 55 fouls called in a
single game, but an enjoyable,
well-refereed basketball
contest.
Therefore, we invite all
members of the University
community who have been
disgusted at the inane calls on
both sides of the court in
recent games to file complaints
with the ACC Conference
office. We feel that we can't
just sit around while ACC
contests begin to turn into a
battle between the players and
the referees. Join us and file
your complaint.
