Had that been Dockery, Reddick, McRoberts, or Paulis who did the exact same thing, I guarantee a foul would have been called. As for me looking at it from a fans point of view, your all wrong. I am a Duke fan, have been for 21 years. IMO the officials missed that call. Would Duke have won even if the call is made?? Probably.

If it would have been anybody but Sheldon, that kid is putting his nuts in all those other kids face while he his hanging on the rim. The kid had to alter his shot just to try to get it over Sheldon. Sheldon does nothing wrong except maybe bring his arm forward a little bit to block the shot and the kid thwarted any attempt of that happening by using his off arm to deflect it. This was a great play that looked ugly, because of the kid hitting the floor. This play was borderline at best, and if it is borderline, marginal, or inconclusive it is nothing and play on.
