NORWICH – Gus Macker organizers say they’re well below the required number of referees for next weekend’s three-on-three basketball tournament.

According to local Macker director Tom Revoir, the minimum amount of referees, or “Gus Busters,” the event needs is 65 – but ideally he would like around 80.

At the moment, only 40 have stepped forward to volunteer. “We’ve never been this low ... we’ve exhausted our list,” said Revoir.
