I agree. Wasn't Barakat, when he was head of ACC officials friends with Coach K and Dean Smith?

A bit ironic these days, because coaches ejections are rare in the NBA these days. I remember the days where Larry Brown and Jerry Sloan were good for a few ejections each year and in the super old days, Red Auerbach was thrown out of an All-Star game.
