Duke/Kansas Block ?

"I think the calling official leaned block because of the score."

I don't follow. What do you mean, AR?

Kansas was down at the time. Kansas had been at a foul count disadvantage. Kansas had 2 plays that should have been fouls on Duke that didn't go their way.

Or maybe Roger just missed it.

I think there is merit to the logic behind going with the block at that point of the game IF the play were a "50/50".

This play, even in real time, was not a 50/50, IMHO.

I think the call could have went either way and my first reaction was charge. I have to say it was one of the worst called games I have ever seen. Several no calls and anticipate calls.

Right. And that’s why all three officials advanced to the Final Four, when no other regional final crew did so.

Gimme a break, fanboy with 28 posts in four years.

Rut - The NCAA men-in-black are on to you now. Hopefully no one will be knocking on your door.

Back in the Burr / Higgins / Welmer era, I think everybody would have alluded to what
has been said, 50 / 50 call, Kansas down call it a block. Not sure if that was Roger's thought process but I'm OK with a block on this play.

I personally liked this era ( art over science ), I also think coaches were comfortable with it as well....

Been through this before. Funny they allowed other videos to be posted on the exact play.

Peace

Lol let me guess you feel like you are better then me because of your impressive post count? Sorry some of us have kids, jobs a wife and don’t sit on the couch in our underwear eating Oreo ice cream and flexing because of our huge post count

My first ignore on here. I have no problem fighting with someone on here over a call or play, I will not however put up with anyone acting like they better then me. I have worked with way too many refs that told me they were 20 year vets or acted like they were better then me and I watched them piss themselves on the court.

How did you know what my favorite ice cream flavor was?

Glad that you join us here once a year, around the same time, to discuss the same thing over and over again (a call you didn't like). Welcome to the internet. Tell you family the internet says HI!

Randa16, it is not post count that's at issue but attitude.

This judgmental line from your post makes you sound like you think you are better than the refs you criticized: "I have to say it was one of the worst called games I have ever seen."

That is not productive and doesn't contribute to anyone's improvement, which is generally the purpose of this forum--our collective education.

Can you truly "miss" a play like this in real time? The way I see it, whatever call you make is going to piss off half the gym no matter what, regardless of right or wrong.

You can slow it down and break it down on film till the cows come home, but the guys on the court don't have that luxury. IMO in this situation you just have to pick one. Elite Eight, final minutes, everything on the line--just pick one and sell it. That's what Roger did here and I don't have a problem with it.

You could definitely convince me it was a charge though.
