Duke Gets All The Calls
I'm sure this is taught in Coach K's school of "fooling the officials". I can hear him training his guys: "At Duke University we've won a lot. We have some kids who haven't failed that much. But when you get to Duke, you're going to fail some time. That's a thing that I can help you the most with. To prevent failing more than we should, my coaching staff and I implemented strategies on how to effectively teach flopping and goaltending. We've perfected the science and we feel we will fail less because of that"

Bottom Line
Here's the bottom line in the Lakers / Spurs crazy ending to game 4:
1) Replays showed that Fisher's shot grazed the rim and the shot clock should have been reset
2) Replays showed that Odom's "goaltend" on Parker was a legal block. Odom touched the ball before it hit the rim. (the curious question to this play is why Doug Collins and Marv Albert didn't notice this. I saw this when they first played the replay from sitting on my couch)
3) Replays showed (and the NBA admitted) that a foul should have been called on Fisher on the last play.
Bottom line: All 3 of those calls were during the final minute, 2 during the final 3 seconds. 2 of 3 went the Spurs way, on their home court, and the Lakers still won. I will give the credit to the Spurs for taking the high road - that's a classy organization!

Saved by the Block!
Didn't see the end of the Georgetown @ WVU game? You missed a good one! Georgetown won in Morgantown by 1 point 58-57, but it was how the game ended that left fans booing and Bob Huggins livid. WVU player Da'Sean Butler drove the baseline and released a finger roll towards the basket as time was expiring, but out of know where came Patrick Ewing Jr to block the shot as the buzzer sounded.
West Virginia fans are definitely not happy. The are calling it a goaltend and crediting Bob Huggins for chasing the officials down. They do, however, acknowledge that if WVU would have shot a little better than 12 for 23 at the foul they would not have put themselves in that position.
What did you think? Goaltend or no Goaltend.. here's the video:
I'm going to go with Charles Rich over at the fanhouse and say it was a clean block... barely.
