Monkey place in America where it is a charge is in Cameron everywhere it is a blocking call and should have been called as much. Horrible call

Please. That wasn't obvious in real time at all, which is all the refs have to go on. Could have gone either way; the home team will get the call more often than not in those situations, it's not just exclusive to Cameron. If the roles were reversed and the game was in the Carrier Dome, I guarantee the call would have been the same.

I can feel your hate for Duke coming out in your posts which tells me you don't have an unbiased opinion.

50-50 calls always go to Duke.

Jim Butthurt got Coach K'd, he should be suspended with his reaction.
On the call itself, it is one of the rare charges I have seen in all of college basketball this year. It is probably only one of a handful I have seen once the the offensive player beats his man off the dribble on the drive. There was one in the UM/MSU game that I thought could have been a charge, but it was called a block. They never showed the replay at an angle that was worth making any other judgement.
I thought it should have been a block, but that is solely based off how the majority of those calls have went this season. Last year it was a no question charge, this year it has been mainly a block.
Here is the thing on officiating, I watched Gonzaga/San Diego last night and wow, if you think BIG officiating is terrible. That game seemed to have the philosophy of nothing broken or bleeding it wasn't a foul. Very ugly, very inconsistent on how it was called. The SDSU/New Mexico game was horribly officiated as well, but SDSU didn't show up, so it was a moot point. Officiating everywhere is bad and it isn't going to improve until there is one officiating governing body.

It wasn't a college game, but you should have seen the 5th grade game I reffed yesterday. Absolutely flawless. I My "and 1 punch" was in rare form.

Inconsistent is a really fair description actually, because that allows them to be good at times and horrible at other times. If you watch PAC 12 games, their referees consistently look like they don't know any of the rules.

Worse, almost, than gthat call was Dakich thinking the call on Kaminsky (where Uthoff tried to do a "continuation") was, and I quote, "Good Defense!".
That hypocritical gig sealed it for me. Ryan, Izzo, et. al., will always get preferential treatment for themselves and their teams. I won't even go into the complete miss of a foul call on Oglesby's late basket. Dakich, of course, thought it "could go either way". Seriously?
Understand, officiating, alone, doesn't lose games. But it's almost like a Globetrotters game where their opponent has to "give away" 10 "show" baskets per game.

There are those that say Fran's technical fouls and ejection cost Iowa the Wisconsin game this year. I don't believe that to be the case.
However, I would definitely say JB's may very well have cost Syracuse the game. It was a player control foul so no free throws. There were 10 seconds left. Syracuse may have gotten the steal. They could have fouled...Duke was not making free throws. This game was still very winnable...especially considering Syracuse's escapes this season.
