Syracuse

Boeheim quoted Lou Carnessecca in the press conference. When asked about the crowd at duke he said:

"Lou Carnesecca once told me that they can be as loud as they want, they can't score any points"
 
I have zero problem with that call. Was there in plenty of time and got hit right in the chest outside the restricted area. For ANYONE to say that is the worst call they have ever seen must have only watched 2 minutes of basketball in their life.
 
Hate Cuse. Glad the call was made but, while the defender was outside the restricted area, I though it should have been a no call. The offensive man avoided contact and the Duke player flopped. I've seen a million worse call, however.
 
'Cuse got Duked. Much like Duke got 'Cused in the first game. It happens on their home courts all of the time.
 
The block/charge call is so critical and so difficult to make it has become a nightmare for officials.It usually results in the home team getting the call.
Because of the contact made the official has to blow the whistle. Would allowing the ref to make a too close to call decision and either give the ball to the offensive team out of bounds or to the team with the possession arrow open up another can of worms?
Sometimes even after looking at tape it's still tough to make.
 
I agree it is a very tough call and very subjective. We can watch a replay over and over and people will still disagree...based usually on which team they are rooting for.

How about something very black and white (although possibly unfair). For the calls near the basket, if the offensive man has left the floor and then contact is made, it is a block. If his foot is still on the floor and contact is made, it is a charge. Then, the two criteria will be easy to determine. Was a foot still touching the floor or not and was there contact or not. If the player is just driving and the defender isn't even trying to establish position, then the call is against the defense, unless the offensive man clearly creates contact. Those calls are not as difficult to make.

I'm also of the opinion that blatant flops should be called a technical foul. If one of the refs sees that it was a flop, even if another called the foul, review the tape. If it was a flop (no, or minimal, contact and the player goes down hard) call a technical. It would quickly eliminate that BS.

Yep, more recently though is Hooper. Had he played for Carolina or Duke Cotton would have been called for a reach in foul at the end of the game
and he would have been shooting free throws like Coach probably thought.
 
Should have been a non-call.

Score the basket, not an offensive or defensive foul.

I think the Duke player said as much in an article I read about the game.
 
Agree with Bob Ryan who on ESPN's Sports Reporters show said let's stop rewarding defenders for just standing there like a lamp post and make them make a play on the ball and that this play was started by the ACC. I think it started with Duke and Rat Face having his players flop around the court like fishes out of water and the master was Shane Battier. Since it is such a tough call it would be great to just eliminate it, years ago you didn't have players falling all over the court all game long. I know some will disagree because they will say it is old school but I would rather watch basketball being played not acting with players flopping all over the court.

This was a lesson for Cuse and all the other "northern" boys. This is the ACC and the northerners are not going to rule in the ACC. Duke and No Carolina will rule no matter how many of the old BE teams enter their conference. Boeheim may have learned his first lesson of joining the ACC- it was a course called -- Duke101
I cant wait to see how they mess up Cuse in the ACC tournament

Hey, Moose, some things just stick in your craw, and no matter how hard you try, you can't get rid of them ... especially when it was the last play of the game against your hated -- emphasis "hated" --arch-rival. (Besides, to geezers like me, it seems like it happened yesterday!)
 
In the post game press conference he indirectly dissed the ACC a couple of times. Like questioning why Maryland was off today. He said "they'd never do that in the other league." And in another instance, he said (something like) "they don't like it down here when I say that" He certanly didn't endear himself to the ACC fathers. And with respect to his act on the court, he said "that's how they'll remember the old coach down here." All of which says to me he's done with the ACC. He fulfilled the request to give it one year to validate the transition of the move from BE to ACC, but I think he's done.

With the recruiting class he has coming in next year, I would be shocked if he retired at the end of this season

Uh evidently you don’t pay attention to all games and just cherry pick a few instances.

Go back and look at the tape of the first game on 2/1 up at the Carrier Dome.

Syracuse shot FIFTEEN more free throws. Also the best player on the floor was called for his 5th foul late in the game on what most people believe was an iffy call (offensive foul on Parker).

Then a BLATANT missed call when Rodney Hood was fouled in OT on a dunk attempt.

Sound like Syracuse getting screwed…Hardly.

I agree the call probably was not a charge but after watching a replay it was close and hardly egregious. The no call on the Rodney Hood dunk on 2/1 was much worse.
 
Wasn't there a time in college (not the NBA), when you had an offensive foul but they still counted the basket anyway, and the theory was, once the ball left the player's hand the basket will still be good, then the 'charge" happened after the play. It was one of those differences between college and pros, and it let the refs 'off the hook", both sides got something.

Don't remember when they got rid of that one.
