You got to be kidding. It's ok to fight and body up and try and move your opponent, but you can't blantantly use a free arm and extend it to throw your opponent to the ground. I was a good rebounder myself, and believe a blantant clear out in order to keep your position would be called every time. It clearly was a foul of over agression. I believe the term clear out is correct. Zoubek is a monster and he got away with it on that play.
Explain to me how Duke only had 5 fouls in the 1st half. How about the 2 steals by Butler that should have lead to to Butler layups. Jon Schyer blocks one from behind which was all ball, than shortly there after, Duke losses ball, Butler going in for layup and Schyer mugs him and than gets help from Sligler who ends up blocking the ball out of bounds.
Watch the game again. Explain to me how after Hayward takes a shot that was deflected out of bonds is called a jump ball. I could go on and on. Like the charge called against Hayward that should have been a blocking foul on Schyer. That play right there was a 3 point swing.
I Happen to agree with you. However no matter how much you, I, anyone can do will change the result. Seems like some teams always get every close call and we all know that. I think a great point for you would be to say if there were 3 Robots that were not HUMAN and everything was called 50/50 regardless of the name of the team on a jersey. Good luck.
