ACC suspends crew for call in Duke-Florida State game
GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) ? The officials who worked the Florida State-Duke game this past weekend were suspended from their next games because of a bad call, the Atlantic Coast Conference announced Monday.
The crew of Mike Eades, Ray Natili and Ed Corbett shouldn't have assessed a technical foul to Florida State's Alexander Johnson in the second half Saturday, said John Clougherty, ACC coordinator of men's basketball officials. The technical was Johnson's fifth foul of the game and disqualified him with 9:23 remaining.
The sequence started when Johnson fouled Duke center Shelden Williams for his fourth foul of the game. Williams then bumped Johnson's chest and videotape replays showed Johnson attempting to back away as Williams approached him. The referees called technical fouls on both players, giving Johnson five.
Johnson had put up 13 points and 11 rebounds in just 14 minutes before his disqualification.
No. 2 Duke won the game 97-96 in overtime. Duke sucks.
