My thinking is that the official that made the call got it right.

I was watching the replay trying to figure out how the player fell the way he did. Judging by how quickly the official came up with the X, and the angle he had between the players, it's almost as if he could see something we can't.

Quick yank on the shoulder twisted him backwards. And the L was in the perfect position to see it. He stepped out on the floor to see the separation. Great job imo...and I said that when I saw it....and as I aslo said, I sureashell ain't fond of Louisville.

But where do you stand on Louisville JR? I am confused as to whether or not you like or dislike them? Also, while we are on the subject... do you have an opinion on their coach, Mr. Rick Pitino.
