North Carolina vs. Duke

Anyone else see the charge play at 16:27 first half?

Edit: 12:37 first half -- why we shouldn't call across the lane as lead

Edit 2: 11:30 first half -- close block/goaltending call

Edit 3: 7:46 first half -- close block/charge play

Edit 4: 6:22 first half -- what did the defender do wrong??

Edit 5: 8:10 second half -- official trying to claim verticality?

Why in the heck did they rush the court?

Peace

Who cares why they rushed the court? Do we have an off topic forum? Take this debate there!

It's Duke vs. UNC?

It's the first time since 1990 that an unranked UNC team beat a Top 5 Duke team?

College basketball fans don't really need a reason to rush the court anymore?

Ugh, agreed. So mighty North Carolina has declared itself no longer an elite program, but rather one that rushes the court for a regular season, conference win? Embarrassing.

They're (mostly) 20 year old kids. Hardly the most embarrassing thing fans have done this year.

Every year I get older, and these dang kids stay the same age. Worse things do and have happened during the games (i.e. fights, and altercations involving fans). At the end of the day I expect 20 year olds to act like 20 year olds (having fun!!)

I knew the Devils were in trouble when my Sports Illustrated came yesterday with Coach K and Jabari Parker on the cover

Here are the plays. Three on one clip...

1) exaggeration by defender, but still a PC

2) that wasn't across the lane. I was right I the middle, inside the RA. Defender did not stay vertical while airborne

3) probably a goaltend, but it took me too many replays to figure it out, so I'm not criticizing the no-call.

4) Upward motion play, John Adams wants this called a block, as it was.

5) defender did nothing wrong, should have been a no-call

6) defender hits shooters arm, should have been a call

Pat Driscoll called this on #5, who is across the lane from him. Problem is #5 never touched the shooter. Thus, don't call across the lane. Referee your defender, #1 in this case, who did foul the shooter.

Play 1: No call. Offensive player goes to but not through.

Play 2: Foul on #1, not #5.

Play 3: Goaltending.

Play 4: Block.

Play 5: No call.

Play 6: Foul.

#1. PC called but it was a flop. Should have been a no call.

#2. Correct Call. Defender jumped into the shooter. And that is NOT across the lane. It was well in the lane.
EDIT: It looks like the call may have been against the wrong player, however, but there was a foul.

#3. GT. It was inconclusive from the first angle. It was obvious from the 2nd angle.

#4. Block. Late to the spot....even in NFHS as he was still moving into the shooter all the way to contact.

#5. I definitely don't see a block. But I do see the defender left arm across the front of the shooter as hey's moving to go up. Perhaps a hold or illegal use of hands but I'm not sure it is enough to call.

#6. Shooter came into defender's arms. Defender had LGP and was just raising them above his head which is legal.
