I keep thinking of the "play through contact" montage during the second half featuring Parker.   How ironic was that even before the charge call against Fair?

During one segment Jay Bilas talks about playing through contact when I saw no contact with Parker at all.   In another segment Bilas talks about Parker playing through contact as Parker initiates the contact with the SU defender and then runs over that defender.

On top of that the expression "playing through contact" is a coaching point of emphasis.   Jay Bilas has no coaching experience, but he was a player for Coach K.   And then of course at the end of the game Fair avoids most of the contact as the Duke player shuffles his feet and is leaning forward.   Fair makes a terrific play avoiding contact against a late arriving defender, and we all know what happened after that.   The levels of irony would make Harold Ramis smile, may he rest in peace!   No film has ever made me laugh more than Groundhog Day.
