16 The Tar Heel Thursday, June 2, 1977 Three officials reality; 'mechanics' approved By RICK SCOPPE Staff Writer The use of three officials in basketball, conference tournaments for women's athletics and a revised baseball play-off format were among the decisions reached by Atlantic Coast Conference coaches and athletic directors meeting in Myrtle Beach, SC May 16-18. A major decision, unanimously passed by both coaches and athletic directors, was the use of three officials in all conference games and all other games where a team of ACC officials are working beginning with the 1977-78 season. For the past few years the ACC had been mulling over whether to use three officials. Last year the coaches recommended it but the athletic directors turned it down. The Big 10 is currently the only conference using three officials, though there are other conferences considering the use of three officials. According to UNC Athletic Director Bill Cobey the main reason for enactment this year was simply the "mechanics" had been worked out. Cobey continued, saying that last year the athletic directors felt the mechanics involved in an official going from a two-man team to a three-man team was not quite complete. The third official will be placed near the sideline approximately parallel to the foul line and will be most concerned with happenings away from the ball, especially three- and five-second calls. Another big decision made at the ACC meetings involved women's conference tournaments, the first of their kind, in both basketball and tennis. When asked why the sudden decision concerning women's athletics Cobey pointed out that a few years ago interest in women's athletics was not that big but now with the increased interest the ACC wanted to expand "the development of competition (for women) and be a leader in women's athletics." Two other decisions to come out of the meetings were a revamped baseball playoff format and a recommendation concerning TV time for ACC schools. In the baseball playoffs next year the three first round games will be held at the schools finishing second, third and fourth. The three winners and the ACC Champion (who has a first round bye) will then meet at the champion's school for a double elimination tournament. Concerning the TV recommendation there was the discussion that a need for a more equal distribution of TV time was needed for 'all ACC schools. The recommendation called for no school to appear more than two more times than any other school. One decision left unanswered was where the ACC basketball tournament for 1979 will be played. The three choices were the Omni, in Atlanta; the Capital Centre, in Landover, MD; and the Greensboro Coliseum, in Greensboro. STANLEY STEAMER 6oz. of MEAT! HAM. SALAMI, BOLOGNA.
