No Way am I defending Packer...

but, my take on the play after watching it on tivo was that there was no more pushing and shoving on that play than any other rebound. my view of what happened (while on my couch with the advantage of tivo and slo-mo replay of which the officials did not have) was that May originally went straight into the lane and Powell braced himself for the box out. May then stepped slightly back and to the side causing Powell to slighly lose his balance and fall away from the basket about 2 - 3 steps leaving May a clear shot at the rebound by stepping in and taking the place that Powell had vacated. I don't think it was the best foul call in the game, but at full speed I would have called it too, I think.

By the way, I despise UNC so I am not infusing any fanboy bias here. I just thought it was a good play by May that ended up looking awkward. Congrats to UNC they deserved it... as much as it pains me to say!

Also, regardless of what I wrote here, BP is a complete moron!
