OT: How can you be so bad at your one job?
Where do I sign up to be an instant replay official?
I mean... how can you be so bad at your job? How many times have we seen conclusive evidence not be recognized? Is there a vision test?
Wow.
in a world where there is objective right and wrong, the ball went off the duke player's finger.
C'mon...this isn't a "Is Fitz' knee down against Ohio St.?" thing, this was as clear as day. There really is no question.

While I can see where you could question whether he touched the ball, what you can't question is that the rotation of the ball changed significantly in mid air. The rotation change of the ball is only going to happen if it touches something or someone.
On the feed I saw, his middle finger flicked back by an entire inch, in high definition. It was a foregone conclusion that it was Wisconsin ball. Except I knew better. I knew they'd screw it up, because somehow, they always screw it up. I was not at all surprised by the call, simply because all sports use the same replay guy and he clearly has massive cataracts.
are crying about how msu got jobbed just as badly as wisconsin did.
this just lends evidence to the fact that the refs are always against the team you are rooting for.
That's just boilerplate confirmation bias. It's unbecoming. Wisconsin got pummeled down the stretch of that game. Ain't the ref's fault!

How can the announcers just accept it when the refs came over and explained they couldn't see who it was off of, so left it Duke ball. Maybe be like, well we can see it's clearly off of Duke, should be Wisconsin ball, here look at our slow motion and zooming in angles instead of whatever pieces of shit TVs you're using.
kindalik how:engineering firms can't conduct their own tests;
cpaif can't do their tess; soa can't produce study guides
conflct of interest
Refs handed Louisville 2 points despite Trey's block being as clean as you'll ever see.
Two years later Duke is gifted 3 from another blatantly screwed call.
Having the refs change the dynamic of two of the last three NCAA freakin championship games during crunch time, essentially clinching it for Louisville and now Duke, is flat out despicable.
These officials need to be publicly shamed and then dumped off in the middle of Antarctica.

is you all keep bringing up Louisville and opening old wounds
just stop watching bball. It's the easiest way to stop being frusterated by poor officiating. The refs in bball hold more sway than any other major sport.
team's have to play through bad calls and biased refing. It's a competition hazard of all sports particularly team sports. Sometimes it's not a conspiracy but refs simply don't like a coach or certain players due their attitudes or reputation or simply make bad calls. Who knows, it's a basketball game and the bgtn team lost. Overall Wisconsin exceeded expectation and represented the bgtn well. The bgtn deserves respect in football and basketball placing teams in both NC title games.
Serious question:
Can anybody think of any game-changing bad call that has ever gone against Duke in a big game? Any at all?
Ever?
I've been following CBB intently since the early '80s, and I can not think of a single time. Not one.
When all the bloggers of a particular school do that "If you could only change one bad call in our program's history, what one would it be" thing, what to they do at Duke?
Change a call from a practice scrimmage?
I can't think of any big calls that have gone against Duke in a big game. Maybe there have been some, but I can't think of any.
