Grayson Allen using his upper limbs this time...

Will address my subject line in a minute.

First, an observation-- I don't often find Bilas to appear openly biased toward his alma mater, but he sure sounded like he wanted to give the dookie every benefit of the doubt until he couldn't. And his acceptance of the ref's explanation of the technical after assumingly seeing the same video we see in the link is disappointing.

Where I disagree with the refs -- they ruled it a deadball technical instead of a flagrant foul because they ruled it occurred after the whistle had blown. I do NOT know how often a ref blows the whistle significantly ahead of raising his arm to signal a foul, but in the video angles where the ref calling the foul is clearly visible, it is obvious that he raises his arm well after the dookie raises his elbow -- the latter which, to my objective eye, appears to happen at the same time as Robinson reaches in. Makes the "after the whistle" ruling a gift to Duke. It also appears to me that in the angle shot showing the ref from the front, he made no physical sign of any sort that he was going to call a foul until the dookie had already clocked Robinson and was "turning the corner".

The dookie should have been slapped with a flagrant 2 and ejected, and they know it. Has the dookie been given enough flagrants this year that another means an automatic minimum suspension?

Cheapens the game not calling it properly when the evidence is so clear.

You can count on it.
