Unlike normal regular basketball that all other teams play, when you play Dook, you CANNOT touch, brush against, APPEAR to touch or hinder in ANY way ANY dook player that even so much as LOOKS at the basket.... it is an automatic foul and results in Ft attempts
You cannot do anything that might appear to stop a dook player ....THAT is simply not allowed and will result in FTs for Dook/
I have watched this now for over 35 years and while the names of the players change.... aholes like Laettner are replaced by aholes like henderthug or now ROYAL aholes like Punkson Mctripper, those rules remain in effect.
 
I'm not here to discuss if the fouls were right or wrong...

But for the NCAA tournament, we saw the one thing that cannot happen. If Joel Berry gets into foul trouble, this team is likely going to melt. He's irreplaceable.

Yep, he doesn't get his 4th UNC wins going away. He has got to stay out of foul trouble.
 
Yep, keep Berry out of foul trouble, this tournament doesn't count for much, get ready for the one that does.

That officiating was a ****ing joke though for a predominately outside shooting team to dominate FTs like that...usually it's the team that scores inside that shoots more FTs unless you're playing these guys.
 
I agree.
However I remember watching a game with a similar outcome as tonight's; my wife came in and asked what was going on (with the game), and I pretty much said what you said, except I added something very, very important:
I told her it wasn't the refs' fault. I said if you play against Duke, they will foul on nearly every possession. But if I know that, the coaching staff should know that. If the coaching staff knows that, they should prepare for it. They should PREPARE for it.
Just like their nat'l championship game against Wisconsin. Duke fouled so much in the 1st half and got away with it that it almost became Bo Ryan's fault for not adjusting/preparing for it in the second half. I agree with everything you said, but if people know that, they gotta prepare for it.
 
The double standard is so obvious. But we need to understand that and play accordingly. I don't like to complain about calls but in this one it was so obvious that it is hard to hold back. That said, Karma will be our saving grace. Mark my words.
 
There is absolutely nothing to like about dook, especially its coach and that Punk Mctripper

it is my fervent hope that this asshat DOES make an NBA roster and is slapped around like the whiny little female dog that he is
 
Agree with jung. I would have brought Berry in with 10 to go and out him on jones. We simply waited too long to get hiM back in the game. Roys awful sub patterns magnified what was a tough obstacle to overcome in Berry being out.

It definitely showed that we aren't very good without little dog.
 
And we went away from the post in the 2nd half. Somebody want to tell me why Meeks sat 8-9 minutes In second half when he was our best In first half?

Also, Justin Jackson has become a black hole for us offensively in spots. He is forcing entirely too many shots.

Hard to prepare for 8 on 5.

Nope.
White team: 5 players.
Blue team: 8 players.
Coaches: swallow your whistles for the white team.

(And before I get the usual doubting if I'm a Tar Heel fan, I am; I'm a Tar Heel fan who knows we have to get better because we know Duke players reach and grab).
 
Someone mentioned above that this game really showed how much we missed Kenny Williams and his perimeter d

That is clearly true and of course we will not have him the rest of the year The dbags over at Lance Thomas Cover up college have been moaning and crying for weeks about how "hobbled" their team is and poor Punkson is only playing on one leg and blah blah blah

Anyone at LTCC out of THEIR lineup tonight??? Nope These snowflakes have ZERO clue about real key injuries at the worst time..... The type of REAL stuff we have had to deal with for so many years
 
You see what you wanna see, hear what you wanna hear. There was nothing inappropriate from what I saw.
I didnt say it was "inappropriate" ... just correcting you that he hit him on the elbow and he (Hair) was not smiling, by any means. That's all.
 
I feel good about our chances.

Why? No ACC refs to give us the hose job in the NCAA.
Exactly. Compare the officiating/free throw shooting in our three dook games to the rest of our conference games ... it's not even close. Krat terrifies and controls the refs in these games. Over the last 12 years dook has shot (on average) 9 more foul shots than us in our games ... but only 4 more foul shots than the rest of the league in those games.

Flip that around. Obviously we've shot 9 less than dook in those games ... but we've shot 5 more than our ACC competition in the other 150 or so games. Coincidence?
 
Hard to prepare for 8 on 5.
I don't completely disagree but shouldn't we "prepare" for that by now? K plays the refs and Roy doesn't. We should understannd that by now, dadgummit!! Pisses me the **** off!

Also, how you holdin' brother? Duke-UNC means very little comparitively speaking!

Well, our guys are told, and are well aware of what to expect in a dook game. Unfortunately it's hard to prepare for an ambush like JB's first foul. First damned defensive possession, Jefferson picks off JB with one of his illegal screens and JB gets f***ing called for "holding". Holding whom?

Maddeningly, that particular illegal "hand-off" screen was supposed to be a 2016-17 Point of Emphasis for officials. On hand-offs the screener's body is supposed to be still, and not ass-bumping or turning into the defender --- and sure as hell (as in this case) not stepping into the defender's path while perpetrating the hand-off.

Make no mistake: This is a blatantly, patently illegal screen... and not a hard one to see for that trail zebra. In fact, it's damned near impossible not to see (as the "WTF?" looks on JB's and Kennedy's faces would indicate).

K called that play on the opening possession becuase he knows Jackson's got nothing for Berry head-up. Hell, he got half his points in the last game off of Jefferson's screen-shenanigans (which is bad enough) but that gawdawful foul call put JB in the hole for the rest of the game.

...and unfortunately that was only the beginning.
 
The BLOCK call, involving Abduil Jabbar Jefferson, which I mentioned in the game thread at halftime was TURRIBLE. It was so bad that Joel jumped off the floor and practically sprinted off the court, he was so pissed at how bad it was. Look at the tape, a typical but horrendous call that went dooks way for the fifteen thousandth time
 
You're right. Jefferson was moving the entire time. No way that's a foul on Berry. It blows me away how dook games are called. It seems the rules and points of emphasis are just out the window.
 
maybe a dook selling point to recruits .. you can get away with hand checks, slaps, holding jerseys, flops, kicking at groin, trips, phantom fouls, stepping on line inbounding ball, over the back, pushing off driving to basket cause the defender will get called ... no wonder so many top players want to play for K he & dook have there on set of rules for almost every game .. K called Dean Smith for getting all the calls when he came to dook .. I think its time to return the call !!!!
