I'm not saying we get every call. But Grayson took like 3 steps on that Virginia buzzer beater. I will say that no ref is intimidated by Jon.
Pretty sure he just landed before that shot left his hand (I guess you could call that an extra step?). But they also didn't review those back then, or at least they didn't review that one. Today, they reviewed and botched the obvious call.

The refs suck, but what are we going to do?? They head off to their cocoons with no post game media availability, and therein lies the rub. Until that changes, they are free from truly going under the microscope. They cooked up a cop-out about the contact coming after the buzzer, called for OT, then went on their merry way.

Jon, I love you, but please grow some kajones. At least if officials know you might blow up at them, we might start to get a few calls!! OFC

I don't think it would've mattered, Hart. The state of VA is out for Flip. If he is ever driving through it, he better go 10 below the speed limit.

I messed up and posted the wrong three and then found the three from tonight. Lee Cassell is one of the clowns from tonight.

The next morning. I’m still pissed!! How they reviewed the play and in 2 seconds they made that horrific call. I know I wear Duke blue glasses but the defenders hand was all over Flips forearm at .2 seconds. So clearly!!

Although with Flips shooting last night he might have missed both FTs anyway. 🙁

That doesn’t matter. He deserved the opportunity to attempt 2 FT’s. He only has to make one to win and law of averages says he makes atleast one of the two. He didn’t have a great game (thanks to Virginia) but he deserved the opportunity to win the game or send it to OT. Refs took it out of his hands.

I don’t believe in conspiracy theories, but if this is the same ref and if this post is authentic, then boy does Lee have some explaining to do…

Yes Lee Cassell is a Miami grad and is the one who stole a quad 1 win from us. My only hope is the committee recognizes the admitted error and thar is thought of on selection Sunday.
Wow! Can you image a Duke grad doing this if the roles were reversed? The meltdown would last for centuries.

Bleed made the correct call upon further review...something that the refs did not do and now the ACC is feeling the pressure.
The problem is Jim that the ACC won't do anything to these refs. Now, if it had happened to the cheaters, there would be a senate committee and an investigation to get to the bottom. It's a farce.

Agreed, I'm still fired up. I know I've said this probably 5-6 times here in the last 12 hours or so, but with the ACC making a public statement like that- I'm hoping that was directed right at the committee for selection Sunday. It simply has to come into play if we end up on the bubble.

At this point Scheyer and Duke need to speak up. Twice we have been screwed by officials not knowing the actual rules of the Game! How are you allowed to be an official and not know the rules?

Duke wins that game. Just go back and give him two free throws and fire the **** officials. Those guys should lose their pay for five games for a mistake like that.

Lose Tuesday and we are absolutely, positively on the bubble. We need to beat FSU and ND. Win Tuesday, 18-8 puts us around a 7-8 seed.

Zebras are overworked.
They have to fly everywhere to work (almost) consecutive games most times with very little rest.
There are not enough zebras to lighten the load because not enough folks want to become zebras.
