As usual, if there are any interesting plays that you would like to discuss, leave the game and the time stamp of the game, and I'll put it up.

You better stock up on the Red Bull. 😮

That's Steratore in the KSU game? Watched a little of the game in the last 3 minutes and he refused to put whistles on body bumps & handchecks USM were committing against K-State's point guard. Hess finally came across and called one.

This can't be right. Didn't the NCAA suspend him?

No.

He took himself out of the ACC tournament. That may be what you're thinking of.

The NCAA does not suspend officials and has no jurisdiction over regular season games.

Brad, pretty sure BNR was being facetious.

Ah...no, he didn't. They took him off the Tournament.

No different than every HS coach that's fired, it shows up as a resignation in the local newspaper.

He also lost one ACC regular season game and will not work NC State...for a long, long time.

It's Potter, not Porter.

Quite possible he's the youngest official in the tournament. He's only been working D1 since 2007 and he was in a D2 conference try-out camp with me in 2009.

Is Jim Burr working of the these last 4 games?
