I have actually played, coached and officiated games for nearly 30 years...but nice try.
But, good to see that this site is full of people who belive the refs are beyond questioning.
This quote from Al Skinner, BC Head Coach says it all.
“All I’m saying is that tonight, with the type of team we have, we only shoot 13 free throws and they shoot 37 is hard to believe. Craig Smith plays 35 minutes and it’s difficult to believe that he does not go to the free throw line once. There was as much done to him as their post players received.”
But then again, you watched the play on PTI...so you know more than those of us that watched the entire game.

Only fan boys quote coaches and use foul totals as an example of bad officiating. If you officiated anything worth is weight in salt you would know this happens a lot when two teams are playing different styles. I did see a good portion of the game and Duke was fast breaking and attacking the basket constantly. BC was trying to shot 3s and turning over the ball. Also we are not talking about just the game. We are talking about one call at the end of this game. The defender jumped straight up and the NCAA has told their officials in years of NCAA tapes to not penalize defenders that do nothing wrong.
I will challenge you to do this. There is a website the NCAA uses that anyone can register for without paying. The website is called Excel Sports Officiating. Anyone can register without paying. Anyone can look at all the NCAA Bulletins and see for yourself. The Bulletin that I am referring to is #3 under the Men's Basketball section. There are several plays to view that show examples that look identical to this play and the NCAA clearly wants nothing called.
Here is the link.
