Head Coach Dean Smith maintained TV timeouts hurt Carolina's performance.
ACC to study TV timeouts;
Francis won't answer charges
by Susan Shackelford
Sport Editor
Atlantic Coast Conference
Commissioner Robert James said
Monday he is investigating thoroughly
the harsh criticism by UNC Head
Basketball Coach Dean Smith of
television timeouts during his team's last
two ball games.
James said the results of his probe will
not be made public. They will appear in a
report which ' will be available to
conference members upon request at a
February meeting of ACC officials.
Sunday, after a 68-67 loss to N.C.
State, Smith lashed out at ACC Bureau
Director Marvin "Skeeter" Francis for
signaling a TV timeout at a point Smith
thought crucial to the Tar Heels'
momentum.
The investigation of the incident,
James said, will involve a review of the
conference's record of TV timeouts that
have occurred during its telecasts perhaps
for the last several years. "In each TV
game we keep a record. We list the time
and whether it's called by a team or by
TV. We have a factual record.
"Now we have to determine whether it'
(calling timeouts) has been systematic.
I'm also trying to find out if we have a
tape of the game yesterday," he said.
Coach Smith claimed a TV timeout
with 3: 1 0 left in the first half against State
halted Carolina's momentum. UNC had
scored eight straight points, rallying from
one point behind at 24-23 to go ahead 31
24. After the timeout, State hit two
buckets to pull within three and head off
the Carolina surge at 31-28.
Smith, in his post-game remarks,
charged that Francis is biased in favor of
conference member Wake Forest because
of his years as sports information director
at the WinstpnrSalem school and that "he
(Francis) always7,said he wanted to beat
Carolina."
Smith added that he was not
attributing his team's loss to interference

Carolina's men's fencing team dropped
matches to Maryland and Penn while the
women's "A" and "B". teams defeated
Maryland on a weekend road trip.
"We didn't underestimate them; we just
choked," said UNC Head Coach Ron Miller
of the men's Maryland match. "We were
really embarrassed and our inexperience
showed Friday. Now it'll be a real battle all
the way."
Down by several matches early, Carolina
closed the gap in the second round to 1 1-10.
Maryland however, won the remaining six

with television. "State beat us. They did a ,
tremendous job on the backboards and
(Kenny) Carr was great." The loss was the
Tar Heel's first in the ACC and gives
them a 4-1 ACC mark and 12-2 overall.
State is 2-1 and 12-2.
Though Smith went on to call Francis
"the worst guy in the world calling
timeouts," Francis refused to comment
on the charges in a Monday telephone
interview.
"These things happen. I know his
position (Smith's.) He's got a tough job.
All I'm trying to do is what I'm supposed
to do. All of our coaches, athletic
directors and- sports information
directors are aware of the procedure (for
timeouts). We (ACC officials) are here to
see he (the TV producer) gets what he's
entitled to and no more.
"1 do not want to become involved
directly with what Coach Smith said.
This is not the time and way to do it. The
thing will be handled as any other
problem in the conference... through our
regular office procedure," Francis said.
"I admire Coach Smith. I've always felt
we have excellent coaches in our
conference ones I've always had
excellent rapport with. I guess I admire
Dean as much as anybody, especially for
his coaching record. You can't fault that."
Francis said he has designated the
television timeouts since taking over as
bureau director seven years ago. For the
ACC television package this rule is
specified in his contract, Francis said, but
he is often asked by other networks to do
the task. He said he won't know until later
this week whether NBC wants him to
work the UNC-Maryland game.
Commissioner James said "it will be a
little while" before his office has the
report on Smith's charges, which
Monday had not been filed in the form of
a formal complaint.
A censure of Smith for' his remarks
would Only come from a vote of the seven
ACC schools in its meeting early in
February.

bouts to take over first place in the ACC. It
was Maryland's first conference match of the
year. Carolina is 1-1 and does not fence
Maryland again until the conference
tournament in March.
Carolina's "A" and "B" women's teams
both beat Maryland's first string 12-4.
Allison Barrett was undefeated and had only
three touches scored against her. Anga
McBryde, Mary Allyce Bellsma, Anne
Wharton and Kathy Kronenfeld were each
2-0.
Penn defeated Carolina 19-8 in the non
conference clash. A.J. Keane, Alan Knight,
and Scott Corzine performed well for
Carolina, which was hit with sickness last
week.
"I'm obviously disappointed but not
discouraged," said Miller. "We just seemed
to lose our confidence, not having fenced for
so long. The men need more conditioning
and work on their offense. The women
fenced great and need to stay at their best."
Carolina and N. C. State ( 1 -1 ) are now tied .
tor second in the ACC. The next action for
UNC will be Feb. 7 when the Tar Heels host
Virginia and Clemson in a three-way ACC
meet.

It matters little that N.C State's wrestling
performance in the Carolina Invitational
two months ago in no way resembled the
powerful performance UNC exhibited in
that meet. .
Carolina advanced nine wrestlers to the
finals of the tourney while only two State
wrestlers advanced as far. And even though
both State wrestlers took firsts while only
three Tar Heels could win, Carolina still
dominated the tournament from beginning
to end.
But since then, the Wolfpack has
dispatched eight consecutive opponents,
including defending Atlantic Coast
Conference champion Virginia, without a
loss while Carolina has posted a 5-2 mark.
Tonight State demonstrates against UNC.
whether it deserves an unblemished mark.
Matchtime in Carmichael Auditorium is 8
p.m.
"State has a tough dual match team,"
UNC Wrestling Coach Bill Lam said. "I just
don't think they had put it together in the
Carolina Invitational. I know they'll be
tougher."
Both teams are nursing injuries going into
the match, Carolina's probably a bit more
serious.
Carolina's Scott Conkwright injured his
shoulder in practice a week ago while
brother Chris shoulder was damaged at
Oklahoma early this month. Both sat out
Saturday night's 41-0 demolition of Georgia
and although not completely" healed will
return to action tonight.
Scott wili start at 1 18 and Chris at 134.
Carl Hoffman, who has been hampered
with a bad knee and also missed the Georgia
match, will return at 1 67, while Dave Casale,
also bothered by a weak knee, will start at
190.
"We've also had some nagging injuries,'
said Wolfpack coach Bob Guzzo. "We're just
going to have to check them out today
(Monday) and see how strong we are."
Women swimmers drub Vols
Carolina's women swimmers had
little trouble with Tennessee Sunday as
they rolled over the Vols 71-59 in
Knoxville. The Tar Heels led by as much
as 50-20, but eased-up and allowed their
swimmers to enter events they normally
would not participate in. The women
host Duke tonight at 6 in hopes of
repeating an early-season victory.
UNC Head Coach Jim Wood was
pleased with his team's performance,
but felt that it had had stronger
showings. "When you travel for seven
and a half hours for a meet you know
won't be too tough, it's hard to get real
good swims, Wood said. "We swam
well, but we didn't swim our best girls in
their best events. Right now, we're
aiming for our two big meets at the end
of February against Virginia
Commonwealth and N. C. State."
