I did not see this play. I have no idea if the call was right or wrong. I will tell you that just recently the NCAA put out a bulletin where they showed many plays like this where contact took place and the shooter hits the floor. There were about 3 examples in the bulletin where they showed situations where the defenders were called for fouls and they were considered incorrect. So just because the shooter hit the floor is not the issue. I think as officials we are too quick to call things on the airborne defender and this might have been the case where the defender did everything right and nothing was properly called.

I also do not think it is fair to accuse the officials of being "Duke Lovers" because this call was not made. I have seen many possible calls at very critical times where officials could have called something to favor Duke and no call was made. Just look at some of the post season games the last few years and that should tell you a lot.
