Cuse just got Duke'd

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

Defender did a decent job but he's not getting that call very often. My question is why don't more schools set up a pit like Duke has to play in. Home court is huge there.

Duke can afford to have the students right on the court. UConn is more dependent on large donors than Duke (so students don't get the prime seating mid court at UConn). Michigan is similar to Duke.

In real time, it looked like a terrible call, so I can't blame Boeheim entirely for his reaction. On replay, the call was less egregious, but I still think it should have been a block, or preferably, nothing at all.

That was as close a call you can get. Old rules, that is clearly a charge. With the new rules I'm not so sure. With the new rules the player has to be set before the offense if player begins to go into his move. It's not how it used to be called where the players needed to be set before the player got into the air. If anything it should have been a no call at that point in the game. It was one of those games where I wish both teams had lost.

Ennis is a nice player but had a tough game. I can't see how anyone could compare him to Bazz at least at this stage in their careers.

He was livid because of the block foul called on his team on Parker's 3 point play earlier, and the 'same play' is called a charge on fair.

dook still has the refs in their pocket, especially when doing their flop dance.

The real call for a referee not choking on his whistle or K's d**k is a NO CALL…..Otherwise it was a 51-49 call with a block having the edge. Was Hood there? Kind of but they were there same time…….Fair did clear one leg and hip and his arms though so it wasn't fully square……..tough tough call and one he should have let go. Good news is………Syracuse lost! So who gives a crap………

Plus the real reason they lost was Ennis and Cooney 3 for 18 from the floor and 0-5 from 3 - Cooney got off 5 hots, count 'em FIVE……..can't get open against a good defender!

Lol at Jimmie doing a Mulkey. Sorry Jimmie you lose at that too.

 

[Kembacity]

Any of you goons saying right call would not agree if that was Shabazz driving the lane. Duke player absolutely not set by the time he was going to leave the ground, even leaned into it after Fair was already about to make contact. Awful call, even more awful to make at the very end of the game to decide it. They had just called on a block for duke, then minutes later call the same play the other way?


Ugh friggin duke

Duke player absolutely not set by the time he was going to leave the ground,

Is the rule "going to leave the ground" or when he left the ground?

"Starting the upward motion" and that typically begins with bringing the ball up.

"Starting the upward motion" and that typically begins with bringing the ball up.

In a"euro step" move that "Starting the upward motion" could be before the first of two steps?

Yes, or in a typical lay up or dunk.

Yes, or in a typical lay up or dunk.

The reason I mentioned the euro move is that it is usually accompanied by a direction change. Imagine some player moving to a spot under the basket (away from the driver) and the driver changes direction to move into the defender.

I understand. A player can be moving and draw an offensive foul. What you would see with a Euro step likely is a defender squared up and in place and then he slides laterally, parallel to the movement of the offensive player and still draw the charge. It won't happen often, such is the nature of the play, but it can happen in theory.
