Can anybody help me with this reference - billy Packer does not appear to be available today. Probably too busy assisting with an "Ask the Ref" column 
Packer also made a spin move that would be envied by the best of white House press secretaries. He was discussing his comments about St. Joes being undeserving of a 1 seed, and said he was just saying that maybe they were number 5 in the country (and therefore a 2 seed). Not so fast my friends. What about the part where he said that if he was doing a playoff of the top 12 teams in the country, St. Joes wouldn't be there. He could think of 12 teams better than St. Joes 2 weeks ago, now it is down to 4. Spin away.

Not to defend Packer but he said,"The ball hit his leg and he picked it up and dribbled again." Which is a double dribble and is what was called.
