With about 10 minutes to go in the first half, it appeared JJ Redick of Duke was blasted over the arms on a 3-point attempt. Official Ray Nattilli (forgive the spelling) made no call, and Coach K was ALL OVER him. Duke called time out, Coach K followed the official out onto the floor, and fellow official Karl Hess (or was it Duke Edsall? I get these two confused) T'd up Coach K. Coach K spent the next few minutes grilling Nattilli.
However, a replay from the baseline showed that in fact Redick WAS NOT hit, he just faked it by pulling his arms to the left after the shot, making it appear he was fouled.
Officials take alot of heat for a call here and and call there. Let's give this young guy some credit for what I felt was a GREAT no-call.
