Message: [QUOTE="cliftonparksufan, post: 4542598, member: 9"] Great use of visual aids and a couple observations as I just rewatched the last couple minutes. 1) No question that Davis never had his feet set. However, he did have two feet in front of Judah and Mintz basically bowled him over. Personally, it doesn't appear to be a charge to me, but I can accept that fact if that's the call. And, only, because we know the block/charge call creates a lot of controversy, just like the catch/not a catch in the NFL. However, never in a million years should that have been called a Flagrant 1. My reasons why: 1) It was a basketball play by Judah. He was going to the hoop trying to score a basket. That was his intent. 2) You almost never see a Flagrant 1 called on an offensive player. The rule was put into effect to protect the offensive player from being seriously hurt while trying to make a basket. I bet if someone tracked Flagrant 1's, and I don't see that it's published anywhere, I would guess this Flagrant 1 would be the only one of a kind or one of very few, ever called in the history of Flagrant 1's on an offensive player trying to score. So, all that transpires, and Caleb Love misses the first and makes the second FT. This makes the score 70-68 and UNC takes the ball out under our basket with 10.7 seconds left. At this point, Caleb Love takes Judah and pushes him back 20 feet and eventually to the ground. However, Judah gets called for his 5th foul to send Love back to the free throw line. In my opinion, this was even worse of a call that the F1. Maybe people can talk me out of that, but the way I see it, I don't see where Judah was ever the aggressor on that play. It's a shame that we have had multiple games this season that haven't gone our way for different reasons, but this game was taken away from us. We are never going to play a perfect 40-minute game, and you can argue about a couple things that JG3 did that didn't help us, but we played good enough to win. Joe did a lot of good things. Judah did a lot of good things. Chris Bell did a lot of good things. [/QUOTE]
