Fisher Deberry. 40-21 record at air Force Garter spots the football in acc games Ramstein a West Germany the next time your favorite football team Falls inches Short of a first Down remember George Carter. Carter is a line judge for the Atlantic coast con Ference. One of his jobs is spotting the football. As he said after thursday s session of the Safe football clinics finding the spot is not an exact science. Anyone who says he makes the perfect spot after losing track of the Ball is not being truthful said Carter. Sometimes you do spot it perfectly but when the quarterback tucks the Ball and dives into the line it s difficult. You go to the pile and Fine tune your position As you get there to make the spot. But you can actually lose track of the Carter an acc official since 1982, professes to no spot problems last season. He did t even hear it from such loud coaches As Georgia tech s Bobby Ross. As Long As you communicate with them you get along Fine said Carter. You have to understand that there s a lot of pressure on More pressure than on the refs officiating is my Hobby. Football is Fisher s livelihood said Carter referring to Fisher do Licary. The air Force coach also teaching at these clinics. But is the pressure different no. We re very carefully watched by the conference and if you make a mis take you la be Carter officiated seven games in 1988. Since he s a graduate of Wake Forest and an administrator at Clemson he can t Call games involving the Demon deacons or the tigers. His toughest Calls the judgement he said meaning pass interference roughing the passer roughing the kicker. I be had some Tough Calls but no Long lasting repercussions or been suspended for a game said Carter who gels $350 a game plus $75 per diem and travel reimbursement. Aside from that Money Why officiate"1 like the game of football said Carter. I like working with Young people. I want the game to run smoothly so i m willing to Lake the verbal abuse from fans to be involved. I expect the fans to be very partisan and very unknowledgeable of the rules. That s what makes the College game so Carter. 43, from n.c., joined the zebras in 1975, two years after graduating from a Wake Forest life of band and biology. By 1978, he was working Small College games. He leaped to the big time in 1982. Calling a North Carolina slate game. There Are no Small games on that level said Carter. You re always excited always As if the crowd coaches and Contact did t pro vide enough pressure Carter and his comrades must learn 40 rules changes per year. The Mcaa rules committee s big change for 1989 involves kicking tech. No More tech for Field goals and extra Points. The Long Field goal was becoming fairly routine said Carter. This Rule can eliminate some 40-Yard Field goals by eliminating the Tec. It adds some excitement to the game. Now a team will probably go for it at the 25 rather than try for three How does Carter the bystander foresee the 1989 acc season Clemson probably will win the title with North Carolina state and North Carolina in the Hunt.
