RAVELING REPRIMANDED: Southern Cal coach George Raveling received apublic reprimand today from the NCAA Division I Men's BasketballCommittee because of comments he made after the Trojans lost toGeorgia Tech in the NCAA tournament last March. Committee chairmanRoy F. Kramer said Raveling's comments violated the NCAA ExecutiveCommittee's policy that prohibits members of a coaching staff orother institutional or conference representatives from making publicstatements critical of officiating in any NCAA championship event."The committee strongly believes that conduct of this nature isunacceptable and should not occur," said Kramer, the commissioner ofthe Southeastern Conference, in a statement. James Forrest made a3-point shot as time expired in the second-round NCAA tournamentgame, giving Georgia Tech a 79-78 victory over the Trojans. Forresthad taken a pass from Matt Geiger, who threw the ball inbounds frommidcourt. "I'm almost positive that the film will reveal that theofficial nearest the ball never gave a five-second count," Ravelingwas quoted as saying afterwards, referring to what happened beforeGeiger passed the ball to Forrest. "The mechanics (of thefive-second count) are supposed to be `thousand-one, thousand-two,thousand-three. I've got some big-time money that says that he (theofficial) didn't make the mechanics on that play." Raveling is inEurope, but issued the following statement through the Southern Calsports information office: "Under the circumstances, the reprimandwas justified. I made a serious mistake for which I'm sorry."
