[QUOTE="WhiteRhino, post: 1353492, member: 633721"] I'm not sure how much this has been discussed since I haven't read the entire thread, but the three referees who did the game were three of the most active ACC officials. One of them (Tim Nestor) lives in the Winston-Salem area and was hired by the former head of ACC officiating, John Clougherty, who used to teach at Wake Forest. This kind of thing has happened before. In 2015, the ACC head of officials wrote an email admitting that the officiating crew made a mistake during the last minute of a game at Wake Forest that helped them beat NC State. Apparently, one of the Wake players should have been called for a flagrant one foul, but wasn't. [url]http://www.newsobserver.com/sports/college/acc/nc-state/article10257179.html[/url] Last January, Duke won a game at Wake Forest on a last-second three-pointer after officials called ten more fouls (30-20) against the Blue Devils and allowed the Deacons to stay in the game with the help of 32 free throws. Tim Nestor was one of the officials working that game as well. [url]http://kwese.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/game?gameId=400915407[/url] Here's a game from a while back when Maryland was not at all pleased by the officiating at Wake Forest in a game that broke their 7-game winning streak against the Deamon Deacons: [url]http://www.umterps.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=29700&ATCLID=207291394[/url] [/QUOTE]
