There was an unusual sight in North Carolina’s game at Florida State earlier tonight.
It appeared that one of the referees attempted to warn a Carolina player that the shot clock was close to expiring.
Check out the footage:
Never seen an official tell a player the shot clock was running out. Did I see that right?? #HelpTwitter pic.twitter.com/KnlQWCHaxK

What was the referee actually doing?
While is appeared the official was trying to warn the player with the ball, it is likely he was letting the referee on the far side of the court know that the clock was getting low.
We welcome any referees to give their take in the comments section.
