SWAC SUSPENDS THREE BASKETBALL OFFICIALS
BIRMINGHAM -- The three game officials who called the controversial women's basketball game between Alabama State University and Alcorn State University on January 22 have all been suspended for the remainder of the 2000-01 season and placed on probation for the 2001-02 season.
According to league commissioner Rudy Washington, referee Gregory Marshall as well as umpires William Wiggins and Jules Galliens made errors in the calls they made after a fight broke out between several players in the waning moments of the game. Washington said the crew also failed to manage the game clock properly. Both errors could have had an affect on the outcome of the game, which Alabama State won by three points (58-55) on its home court at the Joe L. Reed Acadome.
The suspension of the three officials takes effect immediately.
