Lah me, another Dookie fanboy shows up. Get the Preparation H......
Jurassic --

First, that is not a very classy or even appropriate response. It is intentionally inflamatory -- but won't work.

Second, no I am not a basketball referee, though I have ref'd soccer.

Third, no one is advocating canning a ref for one or two calls -- if you would get off your high horse and read what I said was that they should be removed if there is a pattern of poor calls. Read "pattern" -- that implies a longer time, over multiple games, perhaps over several seasons. Seems as though you are being a bit sensitive over this.

Fourth, I'm no dukie -- I root for Dayton and Michigan State if that is even relevant. But I did watch the game with friends, some of whom were Clemson fans -- and THEY were the ones that were laughing about having gotten away with the charge. I simply was using that as an example -- and wasn't whining.

Appears though you are one of the legion of Duke haters though. If so, then rejoice because their team is more erratic this year than in years past, and UNC is likely to cream them in both meetings. But get over it -- it's just a game ultimately.
