I hate Duke more then anything in the world, but why should a game not end like that? I have never understood the logic of changing rules at the end of games. If it's a charge with 38 minutes to go in the game, it's a a charge with 20 seconds to go in the game. If you wanna say it isn't a charge I am fine with that, but the timing shouldn't matter. Boeheim is to blame. They still had a chance to win if he didn't act like an idiot.
Agree. I didn't think it was a bad call. It was close to a 50/50 call but I think he was set. With that much contact, there has to be some call. And I hate that there were techs called but Boeheim absolutely deserved it. Ref didn't mess up. Boeheim did. And I bet Boeheim will admit as such.
It was definitely the wrong call, but not that terrible. Close to borderline. The block call on Parker was absolutely brutal. But the ref had no choice but to toss Boeheim. When he went out onto the court it was an automatic technical, and this isn't baseball.......he doesn't have the right to keep saying "bullshit" over and over and over. Boeheim obviously felt that this loss was not important, and he's probably right. But to forfeit the game like that was just bush league.
at first I thought it was a horrible call, but after watching the replays it wasn't bad at all. The defender was there, I've seen defenders with far worse position get the charge there
I would say that's called a charge 60/40, but that's the problem. The call is very inconsistent. Sometimes guys are camping out for 2 seconds at get called for a block, other times they jump in front of a player at the last millisecond at get the charge
I personally would have preferred a play on, but I don't get to make the call

The new rule makes it so that any questionable charge/block should be a block. Even Jay Bilas said as much.
"If there is any question at all, then by rule, it can't be a charge." -Jay Bilas.
Also, the next time a 50/50 call goes against Duke will be the first time a 50/50 call goes against Duke.
