This reminds me of a vivid memory I have regarding Duke. In the late '90s-early-2000s, an 11-12 yr old me is watching Duke play some random pre-conf game in Cameron against a cupcake like Asheville or Greensboro, someone like that. They're pounding them. Shane Battier hits a 3 & then the opponent inbounds the ball. As their PG brings it up the court, Battier sprints across the court & plants himself in front one of their other players who is simply jogging up the court while looking back at the PG...a good 30 feet away from the ball, completely out of the play. He runs Battier over, Battier falls on his back, the ref makes an emphatic charge call like strike 3 to end the World Series, & Dukie V proceeds to lose his mind talking about the heady play by "Mr. Battierrrrrrr!!!!".

To this day I have never seen that call made in any game, at any level of basketball. I recall the other announcer making a comment about how ridiculous it was before being drowned out by Vitale's fawning. In my mind, it's the MOST Duke call ever, even over the CJ Fair "charge" & Leattner not getting tossed for stomping on UK in '92.
