Duke/MD held ball calls

[BktBallRef]

On the first held ball, the L signaled a foul, then changed it to a jump ball. It was neither. It was a clean block. I think he realized that after he went up with his fist. That's when he changed the call.

I thought the second play was a no call. The ball was clearly slapped out of his hands and he caught it and returned to the floor. Nothing there.

The foul that wasn't called on Sheldon Williams was the biggest miss of the night. MD player goes up to dunk and Williams grabs his forearm, nowhere near the ball. Of course, ESPN showed it over and over. But they were right. That's a foul in any league.

Having said all that, I'd probably make a lot more mistakes than they did if I was to ever work a Duke game in Cameron Indoor. At least the Dookies lost!
