Ted Valentine won't officiate in NCAA tourney, says it's due to fallout from Joel Berry incident

Posted Mar 12, 2018
Well-known NCAA referee Ted Valentine, who officiated the Final Four last season, will not be working NCAA tournament games this year -- and he told ESPN it's because of fallout from the incident in which he turned his back on North Carolina's Joel Berry II during a game in January. "This is not right, it's just not fair," Valentine told ESPN. "I'm being punished unjustly." (ESPN.com)
