He is one of the most entertaining they have as he's not afraid to tell the truth where others try to be PC.

He only said ref missed call which he apparently did according to most here. I never heard him say 'turrible call' The announcing crew admiitted it was a very tough call implying the crew did the best they could, but just missed this one, which is understandable.

I watched it to the end...he went on and on about how bad a call it was. Others on the panel, including Gumbel, were defending the official because of how close/borderline and fast the play was...they showed repeated replays with Craft's foot hovering over the RA...in chimes Charles...It was turrible.

I must have missed that exchange. Still a Charles fan, no filter, which is refreshing from some of the other suits(Bilas)

I love the NBA analysts on the NCAA tournament, including Charles. He did go overboard criticizing this call, which by the way is incredibly hard at real speed. I don't know how the Lead could have seen the heel over that line by maybe an inch. Either way, he is entertaining and that is what the networks want. The other guys in the studio defended the officials, and talked about how they miss calls, players make mistakes, coaches make mistakes...It's all part of the game.

I thought Chuck took it way too personal, he was tired of his criticisms of the Big Ten blowing up in his face and latched onto this like it was the holy grail of why ISU got screwed. Kenny and Greg Anthony were pretty reasonable, but Gumbel teased it all day as the "CONTROVERSIAL" call. Not a once was it mentioned that this came with 1:41 left in the game, not 20 seconds or something.

According to my bracket it was a great call.

Well it was not that simple. He kind of went on and on and was a little unreasonable about it. He made it sound like there is no way the officials should have missed that. And Kenny and Greg Anthony were basically talking Charles off the ledge. Just like they were giving him crap about his position about the Big Ten. And when John Adams came on and said what he felt about the call, Charles had nothing to say. Not sure if he was not in the room or he just was asked not to say anything, but Charles had nothing to ask or say about John's comments.

Peace

I give Charles credit, when he's wrong, he's emphatically and spectacularly wrong.

I'm glad I wasn't crazy when I thought the first play was a shooting foul.

I must have missed the whole exchange, so I'm wrong. I'll defend Charles whole body of work though, but it sounds like he went overboard
