Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 3095915, member: 1026"] Yeah, that 1% of the time you can get jobbed or rewarded - but you will also have a few opportunities to make sure it doesn't come down to the refs at the end. There is certainly a list of major sporting events affected and changed by refereeing and it is incredibly egregious when it occurs (this one mildly, exacerbated only because its Dook, but mitigated b/c UCF still got 2 good shots to win). I think the Lakers playoff win over Sacto in 2002 and the 2001 Bucks & Ray's eastern finals loss to Iverson are the two of the worst NBA examples. College the Rumeal game I think stands out as the very worst although I'm sure there are a few others that weren't in the actual final game but still in final moment of an NCAA game. Unrelated Duke cheating story, university just agreed to a 112M settlement for falsifying research to secure a 200M grant: The case also contends that the university and its office of research support, upon discovering the fraud, knowingly concealed it from the government. According to court documents, Duke was accused of submitting claims to the National Institute of Health (NIH) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) between 2006-2018 that contained "false or fabricated data" cause the two agencies to pay out grant funds they "otherwise would not have." The whistleblower that used to work for Dook gets 1/3!!
