South Atlantic Conference Disciplines Three Men’s Basketball Officials

ROCK HILL, SC - In a men's basketball game between Wingate University and Carson-Newman College on Wednesday, January 16, the officials counted a two-point basket for Wingate that did not enter the basket.

This situation occurred in the second half of the game. The final score was Wingate 83, Carson-Newman 82.

The officials in this game have been disciplined by the conference office.

The NCAA basketball rulebook clearly states (Rule 5, Section 5) that the NCAA men's and women's basketball rules committee does not recognize or allow protests. Therefore, the score in the game stands.
