Good call.

.... Oh, a rules question is still being debated? I can't get over Rut defending Nevada. I'm glad, it means I don't have to make my mortgage payment, because Jesus is coming back tomorrow!!

That is all that happened? You have got to be kidding me that someone wants a foul for that? Why not a foul on the Duke player?

Peace

Golly, but I sure hope you mean 'lying'.

I say "no call" on the game winning basket.

Why are you accusing the WF player of not telling the truth?

For me it was fun actually viewing the end of the game, because I was only able to listen to the WF call on the radio (XM) on the way home from my game. I was able to see the play where the announcers originally thought the Duke player stepped OOB, because the official blew the whistle and was pointing at the floor, but it was actually a foul call. (Just another reason to be crisp and clear on signals so everyone knows exactly what you've got.)

I agree with what's been stated so far - travel and not a foul, no push-off, too easy a basket for the last shot. Oh, and I've used NCAA Directive #113 faithfully every time I've officiated in the ACC.

I guess I should have also mentioned that I know that would NEVER be called in that situation, but hey I was depressed, sue me

I will also say that after watching the replay from the normal camera angle it is not much of a push off. The replay that I was remembering from last night looked a lot worse. But then again, maybe that was just because I had my Duke colored glasses on.

I'm a Duke fan, listened to the game on XM but watched the highlights.

No pushoff, may have appeared that way but 15 (Henderson) switched and the screener for Wake just slipped right to the basket. It was such a bad defensive play, you figured there HAD to be a push off. Just another example that you need to anticipate the play, not the call.

For the record, I don't like it one bit, but I don't see how you come out of it without a travel call. And two of them had it, C and new T. It looked like T gave the call, and C mimicked, as there was a double whistle. Again, good example of good officiating in a critical spot - a slight hesitation from C, probably some eye contact with T, and the right call in a tight spot.

Still stinks though
