angrychicken {l Wrote}:I had to take a break from the hoops weirdoness on this board this weekend, so I apologize if this has already been addressed. Did anyone else get creeped out by Huggins dry humping Butler when he went down? Spare me the "He really cares about his players" and the "I wish we had a coach like that" arguments. It was fucking weird.

eepstein0 {l Wrote}:(1) The Duke officiating problem in NCAA Basketball has existed for years. I'm so sick and tired of Duke getting every questionable call because the refs fear Coach K or are told to help Duke. It had nothing to do with WVU playing awful and losing, but the NCAA has to fix this issue.
(2) The Huggins thing was nothing short of awkward.

I really didn't think the refs did Duke any favors in the WVU game.

It was absolutely the right call. It's high-level athletics - it happens. I hate the implication Huggins made that just because a player is on the ground hurt that the opposing team was at fault. Also find it interesting that the BE has this "hard-playing" conference rep, but that they were very much "out-toughed" by a team in a conference that is supposed to be "soft" (or at least more soft than the BE).
And the refs didn't give Duke many calls in that game. More fouls called on Duke and the Devils took less than half the FT's the 'Neers did (and no FT's taken in the first 27 minutes of the game. By the time they took a FT Duke was already up 9).
HJS {l Wrote}:The announcers called it perfectly. Butler's left leg buckled when he planted to jump. Absolutely ZERO contact until after he blew his ACL. Huggins is a miserable human being.
Blowing an ACL doesn't hurt that bad. He was sobbing on the floor... not because of pain... but because of the realization that his entire BB career is over and all he has to show for it is a West Virginia diploma.

Diploma? Has Huggins EVER graduated a player?
