Man, what a rough weekend for sports officials. Referees in both the college and professional ranks are under fire after the two biggest sporting events of the weekend were ultimately decided by the judgement of an official. The Super Bowl controversy takes the cake as the global talking point, but the end of the <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/duke-blue-devils/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Duke</a> vs. <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/virginia-cavaliers/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Virginia</a> game left Blue Devil fans and college basketball watchers across the country scratching their heads. 



With seconds to go and the game knotted at 58 apiece, Duke’s <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/kyle-filipowski-76582/">Kyle Filipowski</a> caught an inbounds pass and charged towards the rim for a game-winner at the buzzer. Except Virginia’s <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/reece-beekman-99148/">Reece Beekman</a> closed in towards Filipowski and blocked his shot, but not cleanly, per the officials, as they whistled him for a foul. The only question was: did the foul occur before or after the clock struck triple zeroes? 



Officials decided that the foul did not get called in time, thus erasing the chance for Filipowski to knock down free throws to give Duke the lead. Instead…overtime, where the Cavaliers pulled it out. 



After the game, the ACC evaluated the call and admitted it was incorrectly officiated. “The Atlantic Coast Conference, upon review of the final play of regulation during the Duke at Virginia men’s basketball game, has announced an incorrect adjudication of the playing rules,” <a href="https://twitter.com/RTD_MikeBarber/status/1624625461589311488?s=20&t=YDI-vLQrNCUeIe2ZuBSx5g">read the official release by the conference</a>.



Given that Duke lost and the ACC admitted the refs botched the final play in regulation in favor of the Cavs, head coach Jon Scheyer is still madder than a wet hen over the whole situation. Richmond Times-Dispatch writer David Teel <a href="https://twitter.com/ByDavidTeel/status/1625148812258942983" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported Monday</a> Scheyer was still angry over the call on an ACC zoom. “For me, it’s not OK,” said Scheyer on the zoom.



Clearly the rookie Duke head coach is still irked over the call, since, after all, it did directly lead to his team losing an opportunity to win the game in regulation. However, his team did have the chance to win the game in overtime and ultimately fell by seven points on the road vs. UVA.
