Something worth mentioning and keeping in mind: Taunting of Scoring Plays Might Wipe Out Touchdowns The NCAA rules committee is considering disallowing a touchdown if a player is flagged for taunting during a scoring play.

Want to See State-Wake Play Tonight? You Better Go To The RBC
While I am perfectly aware of the state of NC State basketball, I have to admit that I am quite surprised that a Big Four hoops matchup is not being televised in North Carolina. That’s right, no TV coverage for tonight’s Wake Forest – NC State game, unless you count sitting in front of your […]
ACC officials embarrass league, spark (Jamie) ‘Luckie’ comeback
If the ACC really wants to claim the “Best college basketball in the country†title, they have to fix their officiating. I won’t even go into some of the calls during the game (it’s a bad sign when both coaches are pissed off at the referees). The calls were bad enough, but they had to […]
$100MM non-TD (11/19 update)
Monday, November 17th I thought about this last night and was glad to see that someone tackled the issue of the bad call by the officials at the end of the San Diego @ Pittsburgh game.

Frank Haith Gets It (Updated with Video)
In case you missed it, Miami coach Frank Haith was ejected from this evening’s basketball game at Carolina following a 10 second sequence of no less than 3 bad (if not flagrantly) missed calls. It was nice to see a coach stand up for his team and declare that he was not going to turn […]
Refs Blatantly Steal Game From Clemson (Update: ACC “Handles Internally”)
SFN commentary: Just yesterday Duke Basketball Report took a shot at SFN for daring to discuss officiating in Duke games. LOL! and kiss our ass. January 26 Update: The ACC does acknowledge the mistake, but nonsensically, it appears no discipline is forthcoming. Quote from Clueless Clougherty: “At this point, as with most league officiating matters, […]
