that honestly might be the worst call i've ever seen. thankfully ball dont lie and dook only got 1 point out of it. but wow.
Hook & Hold

I guess you can hook and hold around someone’s neck if you wear a darker shade of blue.
If they just watched the moment right before Seth came down on him(they didn’t) then I could see the call but dang it, he had RJ pinned down first. RJ had no choice but to grab what was killing you.
Yeah that could've easily turned into a 5 point possession for dook, and suddenly we would only be up 4 with 40 seconds left. Thankfully... not only did flopski miss one of two FTs, he was responsible for the turnover on the inbounds play.
BALL DON'T LIE!
BALL DON'T LIE!
Yep. Maybe they could justify a common foul on RJ... maybe? But calling a technical there was total BS. Especially when they called nothing on flopski when he clotheslined RJ earlier after the whistle had already blown.
I saw it as a way for the refs to try and get the game back closer to the betting line. What’s RJ suppose to do when he’s getting a forearm to the neck? Shoulda been a common foul
🤔 hmmm...
And dookie fans are all incensed that the blued evils shot no free throws in the first half.
Last year in Hansbrough Indoor Stadium on Coach K Court, Carolina only shot
three free throws IN THE ENTIRE GAME 😳
I saw 3 just purely awful calls last night:
1) Flipper's hand to RJ's face, intent or not, he hit RJ in the face, that is supposed to be a F-1.
2) The Bacot body check on flipper, clearly a foul on Bacot so much so that our players all stopped playing thinking the whistle was going to blow, it didn't and flipper got a easy run to the rim.
3) The "so called hook and hold" on RJ, RJ is trying to block out flipper, flipper puts him in a head lock from behind, RJ held on so he would not be flung to the floor. I saw that as a F-2 on flipper because he had intent to have RJ in that head lock. Could have lived with the F-1 but to call RJ for the foul was extreme in your face Bull!

did anyone else see the mean side eye stare that a ref was giving Mando after Flip fouled him in the first half? that was bizarre. i assume it's bc of Mando kind of pushing Flip down and (likely) talking some trash to him. but that ref was locked in for a good 4 seconds.
Yes I noticed that when I rewatched game this morning. It was bizarre for sure. I assume the ref was listening intently to make sure the yapping didn't lead to something more physical.
While we’re talking about flipper - what was his issue with Ingram? Aside from us controlling them from the opening tip - he was just being a prick.
Probably didn’t enjoy being outplayed, out hustled, outclassed on both ends - in every way, by someone not on everyone’s POY list like flip is.
According to ACC Refs our littlebitty guard had the big 7footer in a bone-breaking headlock bout to shatter his spine causing major damage to rib-cage area. RJ is dangerous folks😟
