Frankly the only call I am ok with them complaining about is the lack of a foul call on the Hood dunk attempt at the end of the game. If that was CJ going to the rack, every person on this board would have been up in arms.
I watched it abotu 15 times, but I don't think you could be upset either way. Rak got ball at the top and arm to arm contact, whichever the official deemed happened first would be the call/no-call.
All the rest of it is purely calls throughout the game.
Ehh, hard to say, I've gotten mad at CJ on similar plays, just not similar situations with 30 seconds left in games, because he didn't finish at the rim on dunks like that. I watched the replay in slo-mo probably 10 times and most likely that won't get called a foul in basketball, as the ball was hit slightly before the elbows seem to touch, therefore it's gonna be ruled a block before contact, and it's gonna be even harder to judge in real time. Jay Williams even said it was a block. Shocker, I know.
The way most people don't look at it is like this. If he had made the dunk, there most likely wouldn't have been a foul called for a three point play either. If it's not called a foul on a make, it shouldn't be on a miss either. That's about as little contact as you'll ever see on a contested dunk in D1.
But Hood himself said in an interview after the game that although he felt some contact, he still knows he should have been able to finish the dunk, and he himself, did not, which was the real problem, not the no call.
Also, by definition, we would have had another possession anyways, due to a flagrant foul at the end there. Excessive contact without making an actual play on the ball is nearly always going to be a flagrant with those situations. Although I don't agree with it being called in situations such as that one, that is in fact, the rule. If this was the Big 12, it would have been a flagrant 2 easily no questions asked haha
