Has anyone discussed the call coming down the stretch in the Louisville v. Michigan State game where they allowed the wrong player to shoot a free throw?
 
Chane Behanan ran over a Michigan State defender (Draymond Green) at midcourt as Behanan was trying to start a fast break, probably should have been a charge, but it was called a block on MSU. Gorgui Dieng then ran over Behanan and Green who were already entangled on the floor.
 
Dieng (67%) who is a better free throw shooter than Behanan (58%) (who had missed three straight free throws - the front ends of two consecutive one and ones and the back end of two prior to that) went to the line instead of Behanan. He missed the first shot. The referees then go to the monitor and realize they had the wrong Louisville player at the line, so they waive off the miss and have Behanan take two free throws. Of course Behanan who had missed three in a row up to that point goes to the line and drains them both.
 
MSU probably wasn't coming back, but it was a 9 point game with two minutes to go before the made free throws.
 
Reminded me of the foul on Triche before half time of the UNCA game that the refs decided didn't happen upon further review.
 
Next year the Rules Committee is going to add the ever popular "Do Over" to the rules book.
