Whats up with refs being suspended for a game due to "T'S" given out in Duke/Florida game?

Just saw it on half time on espn. Trying to locate new article on it. They said refs were suspended for giving out unwarrented T. Replay showed two players chesting up and looked like trash talking.

Found an artcle on "sportingnews.com" States ACC suspended crew for T given to Alexander Johnson of FSU. It was his 5th
and FSU lost 97-96. Said T should not have been given.

The FSU player, Johnson, was called for an intentional foul after hard contact with Duke's Williams. When Williams got up he went afeter Johnson. Johnson tried to walk away but was whistled for the T which resulted in his 5th foul. I Have no idea what was said... Did the officails have the option to look at replay, or is that just for determining who was involved in a fight?

Man, talk about some pressure there. The replay shows Johnson trying to back off but he was in on the initial contact. Pretty soon we're going to have instant replay on all foul and violation calls.

I believe the league office set an email announcing the suspension that read as follows:

"We got your back. Not."

This was PR based.

I would resign from a conference that pulled a stunt like this.

Wow, I saw the clip on Sportscenter, I can't believe they suspended them, that's just horrible.

I wish they'd suspend some refs for NOT giving Ts to certain players (or coaches) in certain situations.

Sure you would. That's bull$hit, and we all know it.

The T shouldn't have been called. They screwed up.

How can you be so sure unless you were right there and seen and heard what the Officials did? I reserve judgement until such time as I am in the same position as this crew.
