Yes, and he did so (I will not speak for him) from what I could tell based on the reality that there was no support for that kind of call. And it would have been shaky at best to make such a call. I have to admit his reaction was similar to my reaction when you started accusing the official's integrity by that claim as well.

I am not a big Duke fan, but my opinion on this topic has nothing to do with the teams. I would say the very same thing if this was Alphabet soup U vs. Another Alphabet soup College. I see nothing (still) that suggests there should have been a foul, other than who you think was involved.

Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Peace
