Clemson player fakes being fouled. How do we know this? Well, there's the replay:
That, and the Clemson player told the official there was no contact:
Supplied with that information, Karl Hess goes to the monitor and comes back with a Flagrant 1 on Duke player. |
What was initially signalled? A foul cannot be downgraded after going to the monitor, only upgraded or upheld.
Secondly, is there any audio to prove the Clemson player told the official that? And even if he did, since when do we officiate the game based on what a player told us?
