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.

Being a fan, I wouldnt go as far as saying Duke sucks. However I can see why the outside world hates Duke. In my opinion there overrated this year, and lucky breaks (that they have no control over, such as refs) keep going there way. This will all catch up to them in the NCAA tourney, They'll be lucky to advance past the sweet sixteen.

read where ecu was robbed sat by a phantom traveling call just before they hit a 3 to win or tie the game at the end. replays showed the official was blocked from making the call and the 2 others officials were close to the play and didn't make the call. last year a phantom techical was called on daniel ewing vs maryland that probably caused duke the regular season title. this suspension today came from the front office and it shows the publicity about duke getting the calls is having an effect on swofford and his cronies. by the way why suspend the whole crew instead of the one that made the call? check out this article about duke and one person's take on the duke bias www.dukebasketballreport.com/main/index.cgi?7226
