Just for argument sake, did anyone watch the game? Was he "helped" or did he really get fouled? If he drove the lane and took a good thump, how did he get helped by the ref?
Anyway, while it may not be the most ethical thing to do, if the game was out-of-reach why not do this for the kid? Eventhough the officials really had no say, compared to the junk UConn pulled a few years back, this was tame. Let the kid have his 25 seconds of glory, let's call it the Rudy principle.
But, I'm sure that official will be a little more quiet next time.
