There was a worse call missed

Now was it an arm bar and enough to consider an offensive foul, in my opinion yes. However, some may say no and I can respect that as well. My point for bringing it up is that it is a call we don't see often and happens more than we call. I was more or less trying to make a discussion point out of it. Bottom line, a foul happened either by the offensive player or by the defensive. It was not nothing. And I think the crew upon looking at it would say the same. Overall I think they did an excellent job.
Well the one that I really questioned was at the end when the guy from Duke clearly rebounded the FT (over the back) and then pushed the Md player off and layed it in for the basket.

Coach Williams almost came on the court after that miss.

And agreed, the contest was very physical and there were a lot of non-calls in my opinion that went to Duke toward the end of the game. Call it the home court advantage.

Thanks
David
