That was quite the pirouette I will give him that. I am glad to see these get called though even if a bit tight.

I think there is some validity in some of what Pantherdreams is saying and get his overall point.

But as others have said, the fact remains that the onus is on the defense to get themselves in position to make an aggressive play on the ball within the rule limitations so that its not deemed intentional/flagrant.

Dribbling and avoiding the foul is a skill by the offense. Duke had chances to foul the dribbler and failed. They also still had more time to defend.

Freshman makes a stupid play and the official makes the appropriate call.
