I dunno. Earlier, he said he hadn't even seen the play, and no way was anyone going to call anything on a Duke player getting wiped out on the last play.

Sorry, but I was following the entire discussion and assumed he was making his comment with all the current information.

For what it's worth (and I do only HS):

I thought the crew did well.

I thought the game was very physical.

I too was "interested' at the no calls on the "wide bases" on the screens.

I too question a few of the block/charge calls. Close. Gotta make a call.... and they did.

I was impressed how many times along the endline/sideline one official looked to the other for assistance when the ball went off someone out of bounds and got it - quickly and emphatically.

I didn't see a whole lot of chirping from either coach really. Not a fan of his, but I didn't think Coach K's antics were anything but normal last night - for any coach.

I really like the Butler Coach. Class all the way.

I LOVED watching Coach K go right up to the Coaches Box line and stop - like a dog with an invisible collar. He respected it - at least last night.

I really enjoyed the game. Because of the Team's makeup, it was about execution and shooting not dunking and smash mouth. Me likey.

My $.02.
