Saw Lou Bello ref quite a few games in the Cassell from '65 to '69.


We always loved when he reffed a game because he was so entertaining. When he made a call he used every muscle in his body to do it. When making a traveling call he would roll his arms and bicycle his legs all over the court. I remember one game when the ball went out of bounds and the crowd started yelling "white, white, white" because VT was wearing white uniforms. Lou put his finger to his lips to shush the crowd and it got quiet. He then yelled "blue ball" and pointed the other way. While a lot of fun he was a pretty good ref.
