RE: Last-possession no-calls

I remember it well when Laettner's turn around jump shot near the key won this one. It's still a high light reel for Duke. Coming home from VT late that night. Oh. The good ol days getting home at 11:30 - 12:00 am. I guess that Laettner was kinda off balance with a body under him to hit this one. Good one Mo Duke.

RE: Last-possession no-calls

That reminds me of the '99 Championship game when the big white goon for UConn jumps up and comes down on Brand knocking him out of bounds with the ball on the baseline. No foul was called and the official gave Duke the ball out of bounds. No logical way that could be, but they did it on national TV, no less.

I remember that. UConn had no business winning that game. The refs let them get away with bloody murder all game long. It still irks me. They deprived (one of!) the all-time best Duke teams of the championship they deserved that year. Duke was a quasi-pro team in 1999. It was pretty disgusting, unless you are of the lighter blue persuasion.

I remember that game as well. At first, I was glad Duke lost, for obvious reasons, but then I did feel really bad when K's players were so upset and hugged him, as if they let him down. That was a crushing loss. My husband asked me why I wanted Duke to lose when they have good players who work hard and stay out of trouble. He was right; I was ashamed that I wanted them to lose. I changed my attitude after that game. I pull for all ACC teams now in the NCAA's.

Probably the biggest whitewash in NCAA history. But here is a little tidbit that I'll bet not too many remember. Two of the three officials were ACC refs. Wonder what part ol' Swoffie played in that one. Hmmmm :)

No doubt.

RE: Last-possession no-calls

Not a last-second call, but, last night in the women's game between Duke and Maryland, there was a collision on the court. The whistles blew. One ref called a foul on the defense. Another came running in, saying it was a charge. After some discussion, it was ruled a travel. Go figure.
