ACC official takes his toys and goes home ... because replays

[BamaNation]

Or, more specifically, how the control booth / ACC HQ ruled there was a review called before another play was run during the UConn / Syracuse game last week. Didn't like how they handled it while he was the head referee and isn't going to ref anymore after being an ACC ref since '02.

Sources: ACC ref, irked by replay handling, quits

Gary Patterson, frustrated by the handling of a replay review during the UConn-Syracuse game last week, abruptly terminated his contract with the conference after the contest, sources told ESPN.

Can we find a way to make Autrey this angry? Asking for literally everyone.

 

[Bazza]

Good for him!

Our officiating has become so poorly handled/managed.....I have respect for anyone who says "I've had enough - see ya!"

I have noticed a trend this year particularly in which replay officials buzz down way too late to stop the next play. In my view, too late is too late.
My football watching buddy asked if we could buzz down to the penultimate play of the 1983 Bama-Penn State game.

I'm guessing this has been boiling for some time. You don't just walk away from a 23 year officiating career, during the season, over a one-time incident.

I'm confident there's history we don't know about.

You, sir, win the internet today!

Yeah, there may be more to it behind the scenes...

Imagine Autrey being promoted to SEC Head of Officials. The other (and much more qualified) officials in the league would no doubt take umbrage with it.

It's so damn funny how often the guy they have in the booth on broadcasts when there's a review is WRONG about what they conclude. It sure seems like it's a lot more than right.

Ryan Williams has returned from the off season!

(Wrong thread ...LOL!!!)

How old is he now...?

I agree with the ref. I would want no part of the current mess malreplay, or missreplay is mired in.
