Either 3:03 or 2:08 according to Play-By-Play, it was just before Allen was on the FT line.

1. Don't go over, watch what happens. We have technical fouls and calls to supervisor saying "He won't talk to me. I don't ever want him again."

2. Goal tending, but should the lead signal? Don't get me wrong, I would be watching as well, but the C wasn't late with the call, so why not wait?

3. No foul. Clean strip.

4. In the first half? Maybe. End of the game? No. God no.

So Duke has no chance to win the game if you are officiating because you are afraid to call a foul on the last shot of the game. Great philosophy!

Did anyone react to that no-call? Did anyone other than refs who've been trained to "watch the shooter come down" even notice the VT player jump slightly into Allen's path? The kid took a desperation shot and he isn't getting any help unless he ends up bleeding on the court.

Get the obvious.

Desperation? That's normal 3-point range. I know a Mid-Atlantic college supervisor who got on a crew for not calling a foul on a half-court heave at the end of a game. He said the crew needs to have the courage to make that call.

2nd half

How about the free throws at 25.6 seconds left. Ball tipped out of bounds by Duke after missed free throw. VT player grabs a Duke player who had a play to save the ball preventing him from doing so. No foul called, crew has to go to the video to determine who the ball was off. Not their finest moment of the game.

I am going to assume you mean second half?
