I thought the NCAA made a great call by having Scott Thornley, Gerry Boudreaux, and Ed Corbett work this game. I thought these guys were in a great flow all night long. They were very consistent from start to finish. WEY to go!!
Any comments or opinions???

Nothing went totally arrie like what happened last year with the crash behind Jim Burr's back. So I say it was a good game. I was blowing my whistle in my living room when they wern't but what game does that not happen. And the replays showed the officials on the court were right most of the time.

Missed a few but......
who the hell does not do that during one of their games? I always look back at my games and I can say 5 things that I did not call very well or could have passed on. If I had less than 5 calls, I had a pretty good game. But even if I miss one call, I am always mad at myself and try to learn from the mistake or ask one of my partners if they saw the same thing that I did?
Look, not one call changed the game. Even though Coach Olson felt Jason Williams fouled out a couple of times, but from what I saw, the falling of his players was incidental at best and if anything was going to be called, it should have been on his players for blocks. Great officiated game.

There was a lot of contact that could have been but wasn't called. Battier didn't get all the charging calls he tried for either. As long as it is consistent, and from my seat it seemed to be, you have to be happy with the officiating. I thought that the defenders were flopping at the first sign of Williams' arm extending.
The one non-call I questioned was the Battier block and save, where he appeared to take out an arm along with the ball. It looked like a clear foul at speed, in a situation where officials will be more inclined to anticipate and go with the foul, and backed up by instant replay which showed more powerful contact than some other fouls that were called. Not that I want or could do that job, or that one missed call in a fast-paced game makes a bad officiating job!

Did anyone notice the play where a Duke player (I'm not sure which one) set the ball on the floor, walked about three steps and then picked it up and dribbled away? I thought this was travelling, but it was so obvious, and no one called it, so perhaps I'm wrong...

1- He can't hold the ball, throw it into the air, run and catch it. 2- He can't be on the floor, put the ball on the floor, get up and pick the ball up. Those are the only two exceptions that I can think of. Otherwise, he must be holding the ball in order to travel.

If that isn't traveling, is it not possibly a double dribble?

Don't know about NCAA rules, I don't have my book, but for fed, holding the ball and touching it to the floor is not a dribble. As far as I can tell, unless he dribbled before setting it down, this sounds legal.
There is a great axiom in volleyball that applies sometimes in basketball. Ugly does not mean bad.
