Yeah, except that this time he would have been correct.
Don't get me wrong, I'll definitely take the win. But this should have been a loss or gone to OT.

I live about 20 minutes from Notre Dame's campus and went to the game.
Observations:
Ian Jackson and Burton were the best two players on the floor.
UNC looks no better than a bubble or NIT team (a healthy Tremble maybe changes things).
Burton got to the rim at will against Cadeau (and anyone else). 10 free throws in 23 minutes.

Just got back from the game. We stole that one. Last defense was horrible, everyone knew Burton would get it and he had been punking EC straight to the basket, yet gave him exactly that. Very, very fortunate, but hugely needed win.
I don't blame them, they don't like the hire and/or the product produced by said coach they can choose not to spend their money. Thats a Hubert/Roy/who ever wouldn't man up and hire the best guy for the job problem.
It really didn't look like a flop. A player needs adequate non-contact space to properly balance oneself after landing on any jump. I think it would've been a good no call, but the defender jumped into EC's landing space and as such was at the mercy of the ref. Nor did EC intentionally jump forward to try to draw the foul.
That was an easy call, clearly into the landing zone. Horrible play by ND defense. They had a foul to give as well, eschewed that, then close out out of control on the shot. Mind boggling!
Technically a foul, true, so legit to call it. But EC obviously did flop. We used to point that out when Duke did it. So anyway, if you are calling that then you have to call EC's obvious foul on the final play, too. That's what I'm saying. Call neither or call both.
It also means that no matter who we hire, the donors have the power to ruin that Coach's tenure at UNC.

If true, that's not good. The sports version of a banana republic.
It's a public university. It should not be dictated to by private powers.
Pfft
Oh yea, after he got hit with the body and then flopped...
Boosters having the power to make or break a coach is the new norm in the world of NIL. If they are all-in financially, you have a chance. If they’re not, then you’ll struggle. This isn’t exclusive to Carolina regardless of what our resident NIL obsessed poster says.
Which he could have but chose not to…you have no clue
Guys don’t listen to DaveChapass…we had money to get a guy like Danny Wolfe but Hubert chose not to! If you join premium..you get a lot of good info like this! The guys are well connected to the program and know…unlike one toolbag on this board
I call it as I see it. There was minor contact which he dramatized. But that wasn't the main point anyway. Which was that EC fouled on ND's last play and it wasn't called. We got lucky
The call on the 3 pointer that went EC’s way is the same call he has been the victim of at least 20 times in his 1 1/2 year career at UNC. Turnabout is fair play. Haters can get over it.

No offense, and I understand your point, but both observations are correct depending on the scope being discussed. The scope DC focused on encompassed the final offensive and defensive possession, in which EC hit a very clutch 3ptr, a clutch tie-breaking FT, and then was aggressive defensively (again) and got a clutch defensive stop (any foul argument aside, one wasn't called).
The man is a terrible coach and an even worse at talent advisor the day he is fired will be a monumental day in Carolina basketball history, and down the road the hire will be looked at as the biggest fumble in our history.
I disagree on the "flop" as you call it. It is knowing the game and showing he is in my space to land, call it. Smart. They should of called the foul on the last play, maybe if Burton showed the affect of the contact he gets the call.
I don't think he was aggressive at all on dee, back peddled all the way to the rim and really fouled, glad no call. No way he should of been on the guy who physically punked him to the rim all game in the first place though. That was a clear Drake assignment with the time left, maybe Elliot stay at home with Shrewberry for the trailer look. Awful final 4.5 dee strategy.
I admit I didn’t watch the game yesterday I had to watch paint dry (joke for those who are sarcastically challenged). But up until Elliott hit the prayer of a four point play we had one double figure scorer just wow!! Will go back and watch later.
