Yes, there should have been. they should have counted the basket and they flat out blew it. Vitale blew it too. he said the ball had to be released before the shot. Dead wrong. Interestingly enough, Burr originally counted the basket, then changed it after talking to Gray.
In looking at the replays, I believe that the act of shooting had not yet begun. Therefore, the off-ball foul by Duke made the ball dead and the goal was correctly waved off.
It was certainly close though.
Just my opinion.
I did not see this play. However, can someone describe what the shooter was doing at the time the foul occured? I would really like to know if he was NOT in the act of shooting.

Just to be nitpicky: Mr. Gray's name is spelled Donnee, not Donnie.
