Wow, did Auburn get hosed?

Jay Williams just had an interesting point that they could’ve called another foul before the double dribble.

If we had a replay system there, could they call the foul then? Do we want them to?

No, this is not a situation that should be fixed by replay.

The official was right there and in position to see a double dribble that was obvious and clear as day. Doesn't matter that it's a high-pressure situation or that he's waiting for the Auburn guy to foul, or that the UVA player made it look like it was a clean and not a violation. If you're reffing the Final Four you're supposed to be the best at your profession. The best in their profession do not miss a call that blatant. Replay is for bang-bang plays that happen quick and/or are out of sight of the official. That play was right in front of him - make the right call.

That's the play that's controversial, not the foul call on Guy.

I completely agree.

I’m not even sure how the auburn bench misssed it. You see coaches and players arguing for calls that don’t even exist. How do they not go after the oblivious one?

Seen many plays where the shooter turns into a flailing Octopus trying to sell a foul but in this case the defender got too close and gave him a nudge. But it never should have come to that. Terrible missed call. Total choke job by the refs turning into spectators in the clutch.

Two refs blew their whistles and raised their arm.

He's talking about the blatantly missed double dribble. Unobstructed view, easy call, somehow it gets missed

An easy basketball 101 call was missed, there are no excuses, no obstruction, no defensible reason to miss that call, while people laud the "great call" on the shot

A $64 dinner? Ya, I'm sure he'll get dragged through the mud over that...

Well, a $64 dinner, shooting baskets with Ray Allen.......the NCAA can highlight what they want with every program in the country....or not bother, as they choose.
