Official Ted Valentine apologizes to Joel Berry II ahead of UNC's Saturday win

University of North Carolina guard Joel Berry II said that official Ted Valentine apologized to him today before the Tar Heels' 80-66 win over Georgia Tech.

The apology comes from an incident in early January, when Valentine turned his back on Berry while Berry attempted to discuss a no call with the official during a loss to Florida State on January 3.

Valentine was removed from two Big Ten games he'd been scheduled to work as a result, and even briefly mulled retirement, before returning to work.
