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'.

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.
