huge shocker. I’m so sick of all the calls Duke gets. RUINED that game.

 I’m obviously a duke fan u can tell, but the call was really close and coach boheim ended the game for his team obviously. Also Syracuse got some favorable calls on their home court against duke. 

[cuseflynn10Participant]

 If that was the only charge call in the game you could make the case that it was a fair call. But Gbinije had position and was set, and even Bilas and Dickie V acknowledged it. Called a charge and it was a three point play for Parker. Either both were charges or both were blocks. You can’t call one a charge and the other a block, especially when Gbinije was actually set to take his charge. 

Plus where was the and one at the end of the game for Christmas. He got a hacked but they let the players decide the game there. Then they decide later to let the refs decide the game with the double technical on. Boeheim. Sure he should have composed himself better, but no one, whether you are a Duke or Syracuse fan, wanted to see that game decided by the refs.

I thought Dick Vitale was the only person who would actually say this, but I should have considered bias Syracuse fan.

Argue the call all you want, fine. But that was clearly a technical situation, it wasn’t that he could have composed himself better, he ran to half court, then onto the court screaming at the refs. That was a textbook technical, a textbook ejection, and you have no one to blame except Beheim for that.

If you are saying the refs decided the game on a ball call, well that can be argued, but saying they decided the game by ejecting Boeheim, c’mon. That was as cut and dry a technical as you will ever see. Whats unbelievable is he would react that way at that stage of the game.

[cuseflynn10Participant]

 In a situation where it’s the last few seconds in a close game, that is where you give the coach a warning and if he keeps yelling then you t him up. But no one wants to see a 2 point game end with 4 free throws and the team in the lead getting the ball back.

 

but that’s not the main point, the fact of the matter is that the refs didn’t call it even. What was the difference between Gbinijes block with the block at the end of the game? Their either both fouls or both charges. Explain how they are any different and I’ll eat my words and let the negs rain on me.

Remember when Duke didn’t get the call on a pivotal play in the previous game against Syracuse and ultimately lost? That block-charge call could’ve gone either way in my opinion. Jim Boeheim has got to be more composed in a situation like that though. The game wasn’t over by any means until he came on the court and screamed expletives at the official.

 It was a 50/50 call. It looked worse in real time but on the replay it was pretty clear that it was close enough for the ref to call it either way.

Again, refs make bad calls. The refs made a ton of awful calls against Duke at Syracuse. 

Even in this game, they missed a foul on Grant on a Hood layup that would have been his 4th, and were reluctant to foul Christmas out twice when he contested a shot at the rim and there was contact.

Officiating is bad at times, crying about it is even worse. Most teams get calls at home. That goes for college and the NBA. Had Cuse not been awful at shooting the basketball, maybe they would have won the game. Maybe if their coach reacted like a guy who’s won over 900 games, they would have had a shot to tie it up still. Crying about calls never really gets you anywhere, the game is over. If you’re "sick of it", no one is forcing you to watch. Go try WWE or something.

The whole "Duke gets calls" is getting kind of old and becoming a cop-out for people sick of Duke winning. Duke has been damn good for a ridiculously long time. People are damn fools if they think that is because of hometown calls. Do they get more then 50% of the 50-50 calls at home? Absolutely. So does Carolina, so does Kansas, so does Kentucky, so does Syracuse. So do the Heat, the Thunder, the Clippers etc.

To whoever is using the earlier block-charge call as reasoning…the plays were very different. One was in transition, making it tougher on a ref to get in position for a call, Parker was going full speed and it can be argued that he was into his shot motion before Gbinjie was into position. It was probably a 50-50 call that Cuse wouldn’t gotten at home. the Fair-Hood one was in a half court spot where the ref was right on top of the play. It was as bang bang as it gets and had it been called a block, Duke fans would’ve been pissed and Cuse fans would’ve been rejoicing. Its a 50-50 call and Syracuse would’ve probably gotten it at home. That’s how it goes.

I can watch the replay 10 times and have a different opinion of it each time.

I just hope Carolina can beat them again in Cameron because a lot of Duke fans that I know annoy the living hell out of me.

This call reminded me of another bs charge call Duke got back in the tourney the year that Duke won it all, like 5 years ago verse Baylor. They would not have won that game or the championship if it weren’t for that call which was in my opinion the worst call of all time.

[mikeyvthedonParticipant]

Gbinije seemed to be there when the score was tied 41-41, Parker drove in and ran him over. It was called a block, he was awarded an and-1. Than, Fair’s drive actually meant Hood had to leave his man and move underneath him. It seems that the rule changes for a charge in college were to prevent this from happening and the call went against Syracuse. To me, that is a pretty big lack of consistency. 

Yeah, Boeheim overreacted I suppose. They say he is the "reason they lost". Ultimately, that is what it came down to. Still, that call put Syracuse in a huge hole after that happened. They would have to play the FT game and hope for the best. In a situation where Duke seemed to be getting the benefit of the doubt, than their seemed like a legitimate chance to have a game tied taken away, can see one being quite frustrated. 

Look at around 1:21 (Parker’s "and-1") and than Fair’s drive baseline at 2:03 (the "charge"). You can say that it is a difficult call to make, just why is one so much more glaring than the other? Especially when Parker’s came against a primary defender (someone whose only focus was guarding him) and Fair’s came against a help defender (someone who had to leave his man to try and get set). As Boeheim said, it should if anything had been a non-call. Especially after the pivotal lead change call going Duke’s way.

I know the first game had a lot of calls go Syracuse’s way and had crucial players foul out. Just seemed that this home game very much made up for it. Felt that during the Parker call, Boeheim kept his decorum, much better than if it had been called against me if I were coaching in that situation. That last call, just not consistent and ultimately, it put Cuse in a major hole that would have been intensely difficult to crawl out of. It is not an excuse for his losing his $hit, though I at least sympathize with him doing so. I think even Coach K sympathized with where Boeheim was coming from. The Parker call was a precedent in this game, and that was not followed when it came to CJ Fair.

Anyone arguing that Boeheim shouldn’t have been T’d up is ridiculous, and I’m a Cuse fan.

Having said that, I’m not upset with Boeheim at all.  His tirade brings more attention to the calls that happened throughout the game and puts more spotlight on the poor officiating.  I hate how people are allowed to criticize player and coaching errors but nobody can question officiating errors without getting fined in sports.

As far as this one block/charge call goes, I personally thought it was a block, which seems to be the majority opinion among the basketball analysts in the media at least.  Looked to me like Fair had completed his gather while Hood was still sliding over.  It’s not about if Hood is set by the time CJ actually leaves his feet, which is what I’ve heard a lot of people that believe it was a charge say.  That was the point of the rule change this year.  It made plays like this one a block instead of a charge.

What goes unnoticed in all of this was a blatant foul on the previous possession when Rakeem Christmas dunked the ball to bring Syracuse within 1 and one of Duke’s players blatantly pushed him in the back as he went up for the dunk.  Between those two officiating errors, that really killed Syracuse.  And it’s ironic that the game was decided on an incorrectly called offensive foul, when Jabari drew an And-1 earlier in the game when Gbinije was set for what felt like forever.  I cannot believe that that call was a blocking foul, but the one at the end was a charge.

At the end of the day though, both of the Cuse-Duke games were officiated poorly, but evenly for the most part IMO.  There were stretches in the 1st game where it felt like Syracuse got a lot of iffy calls, and the same could be said about Duke last night, but I think it was officiated evenly for the majority of the game.

I didn’t watch the game, so I don’t know how the game was officiated but I thought it was a good call.

I thought I was the only one that thought it was a good call after reading all of the internet posts on Facebook and ESPN, glad to see I’m not the only sane one around here that thought it was a good call or, at the very least, 50/50.

Jim Boeheim should have definitely been T’d for that.  I don’t care who you are, what the setting is, what the stage is, and what just happened.  You don’t get into a refs face like that, yell at him, and expect not to get T’d up, not only was the vocal and physical reaction too much, but we don’t know exactly what he said.

All in all, I think the refs handled a controversial call extremely well.  Something I don’t say often.

 

[machu46Participant]

We don’t know exactly what he said? lol.  It was blatantly obvious that he said over and over and over "That’s bullshit. That’s absolute bullshit."  And he referenced the blocking foul they called on Gbinije earlier in the 2nd half and was saying there’s no way that you can call one a charge and the other a block.

But yeah, he absolutely needed to be T’d up for that lol.

 I want to qualify this with saying I am a Duke fan, and that I did come on here and respond after the first game vs Cuse.

And I did think it was a bad no-call on the Hood dunk attempt at the end of the game. But I remember specifically saying "Whatever, get em’ next time".

It’s basketball, you have to live with bad calls. As stated above, its absurd to act like the Paker/Gbinoje play was the same as the Fair/Hood play just because they were both charge plays. Not saying they were both called right or wrong, but they were both questionable.

And if Cuse fans are that mad about it, just remember, at home, Amile Jefferson was fouled out on a touch foul 35 feet from the basket, Parker was fouled out on a charge call where A. he traveled before the foul and B. Christmas flopped, and then on the last play of the game they go with the "no call" at the rim when it was pretty obvious on the replay Christmas at least got some of Hood’s arm.

BAD CALLS HAPPEN. GET OVER IT. 

If Cuse had played good, if their crunch time hero, Ennis, did ANYTHING they would have won. They lost. Its the regular season. Please move on.

 Under the new rule, it was completely a block.  That being said, it is hard to make that call in real time, and the loss is on Jimmy B for acting like a complete child, not the refs.

[The QParticipant]

 You guys need a rule book. 

 

1) the Hood block in game 1 was the 100% correct call. He maintained verticality and blocked the ball. Hood made contact after the ball was blocked by swinging his arm down. The Cuse defender’s arm maintained its rightful position straight up in the air.

2) the Parker and 1 was the worst call of the game. That was a clear as day charge. Not only was he beaten to the spot 2 steps in advance, but he lowers the shoulder and just burys the guy. That was a charge even if his feet weren’t set because of the shoulder. 

3) Fair was upended in mid-air. Hood was clearly still moving when Hood was in the air. Under the old rules that’s an and 1. So with the the new rule meaning you have to get there before he even gets airborne, it’s literally impossible for that to be a charge. 

 

Boeheim went nuts because they blew the Parker call and then let a clear block/and 1 turn into a game ending charge. He was pointing down the other end of the court (where the Parker play occurred) during his rant.
