Not a second guess but I wouldn't have taken him out. Without him in the game, we had no chance. might as well have just run with it. And at the end, he didn't foul out.
Real tough call with that much time left but we went from competent to a mess immediately. Cole having to let guys go by and not really being able to contest shots compromised the defense but that was still a far better alternative to what we saw in those 2 mins.
I agree he had to come out for a few minutes to get his head focused on playing with 4 fouls. That is what happened but blew up i our face with the call on JBA flag 1. Bad call.
It was a bad call. I just thought and I thought at the time, we had to have him on the floor.
I think I would have gone with Frank instead of a gimpy JBA.
That 4th foul call on Swider was BS. Typical phantom call that Duke always gets. No real contact. Certainly not enough to have a bearing on the play. It's like the refs help Duke because the league and the NCAA want them to advance and play more games because they pull TV ratings.
It's true. Too many times is not coincidence
