Now, I'm no Duke fan, I think eveyrone will agree. But that was not a foul.

Willimas jumped straight up, within his vertical plane. The shooter drove and jumped into him. Even when he attempted to block the shot with his right arm, he did not make contact.

There was no foul on the play. You guys that think this was a foul need to brush up on your rules of verticality.
