WCC suspends officials
The West Coast Conference suspended three men’s basketball officials for incorrectly reviewing a shot clock violation in San Francisco’s 68-64 loss to Saint Mary’s on Sunday.
San Francisco’s Dommanic Ingerson made a 3-pointer midway through the first half Sunday, and the officials initially counted it. But four minutes later, the officials disallowed the basket after conducting a video review that showed Ingerson’s shot came after the shot clock expired.
Jack Ditty, the conference’s coordinator of men’s basketball officiating, said officials are allowed to use video review only on shots at the halftime buzzer or the end of a game.
Thomas Wood, Tom Spitznagel and Chad Johnson were suspended for one game apiece.
