If you did not follow Longwood men’s tennis from 1981-1983 or hang out with members of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, you may not know Bryan Kersey. But if you watched ACC basketball in the 90s and into the 2000s, chances are you saw him on the court – in black and white stripes. After earning a reputation as one of the nation’s best college basketball referees, Bryan is now the supervisor of officials for 11 conferences including the ACC, A-10, CAA and the Big South. Growing up as the son of long time NBA official Jess Kersey, Bryan describes how he and his over 200 referees strive for perfection in a challenging and changing game.
