Duke / Arizona

Did anyone see that sequence?

• Flagrant 1 on one team for a hook, hold, and takedown.
• Common foul on the other team 61 seconds later for the exact same hook, hold, and takedown.

Both plays were reviewed. The commentators and rules expert all said it was the same and should be flagrant 1 before and after they announced common foul.

I'll let y'all guess which team got the flagrant 1 and which team got the common foul.

This happened after the lead was cut to 7 with 7:47 to go.

Yeah don't actually watch the game and see that Zona gets away with a whole lotta shizz and Duke gets called for looking at players most of the time. Those two plays were totally different. A zona player under cut the Duke guy and he was just grabbing what he could for dear life. The flagrant was called for an arm bar drag down by a Zona guy with no one else involved.

Basketball these days is not how the game was meant to be played. Too many hands on the other guy, the defensive guy touches the ball auto jump ball, guys roll around on the floor no travel called, and every and I mean every player carries the ball on each damn dribble. It's changed so much since I played it's almost unrecognizable.
On the other hand how well these guys in this era can shoot the ball is almost unbelievable.

You should replace the rules expert.

Yeah! Lets go back to the days when West was given 6' of space, even when he was within 20' of the basket, and yet a screen still wasnt recognized! Those were the days.**

Or are you wanting to roll it back further to peach baskets?
