Gottfried calls ACC response “weak” at pep rally
“I think it was weak. It was bad and I thought the official was completely out of line 100 percent. I’m disappointed quite frankly in the ACC because not only did he throw out two of North Carolina State’s greats, he threw out two of the ACC greats and the league is supporting the official rather than supporting former great players. The former great players in my opinion were embarrassed and wronged when they shouldn’t have been. I don’t think you can have rabbit ears like that if you are a referee and start throwing people out. I was disappointed in the whole thing. They gave a reprimand tonight to the official but it was pretty weak in my opinion.”
ACC reprimands official for ejections
Corchiani Unsure Why He Was Ejected – ESPN Video – ESPN The Story
ESPN Video: Chris Corchiani joins SportsCenter to discuss him and Tom Gugliotta getting ejected from NC State’s game against Florida State.
In an email sent by ACC associate commissioner for men’s basketball Karl Hicks to N.C. State executive senior associate athletic director Chris Kingston on Monday night, the league said Corchiani and Gugliotta weren’t ejected for anything that they said.
“According to Hess, `They were ejected for excessive demonstration on several calls as they came right up to the scorer’s table. The policeman at the end of the FSU bench was warned that their continual excessive demonstration that incited the crowd would result in ejection’,” the email states.
NC State not happy about ejections…
N.C. State to honor Corchiani, Gugliotta and ’89 ACC title team
Chris Corchiani and Tom Gugliotta will be back at the RBC Center on Tuesday as honored guests of N.C. State
Wolfpack athletic director Debbie Yow said Sunday that the school will honor the 1988-89 N.C. State basketball team, which won the ACC regular-season title, at Tuesday’s home game against North Carolina.
Yow said the ’89 team, the last N.C. State basketball team to an ACC title, will receive the “Wolfpack Unlimited” award for their “refusal to accept the status quo.”
Most Ridiculous Ref.
The ACC’s pathetic response to Karl Hess’ actions …
“Under Rule 10, when circumstances warrant, an official has the authority to request home game management to eject fans when the behavior, in the officials’ judgement, is extreme or excessive. It’s unfortunate in this instance that ACC protocol of communicating directly with the home game management was not followed, and instead, a building security officer was solicited. We will re-communicate this policy with all officials to ensure proper protocol is followed.”
