Why is it a foul on one end and not the other?

Sloppiest game I've watched this year. too many turnovers and fouls in my opinion.
The refs are from the LPD?
Karl Hess is one of the refs what do you expect?
So pvfan, you reneging on your post a few days ago that NC and Duke always get the calls? lol
Karl Hess sounds like the name of an Auschwitz guard!
I really don't think it's been that bad. Duke flops/falls down anytime anybody gets within 2 feet of them, that one charge call they got on VT under the goal was ridiculous. VT fans are making me laugh with the chants they are throwing at Paulus.

I don't know the name. He must be the Teddy Valentine of the ACC.
Man, who does one root for? I despise both teams with a passion. I'd pull for Saddam, Utay, Opie, and them other Husseins against either team!
I think we can stop with Duke gets all the calls now, the first 3 minutes of this half have been hillarious.

I grew up in NC as a Heel fan, will die a Heel fan. That makes me, by default, a Dook hater. I've hated VT ever since I moved here and grew to know some of their obnoxious fans. Maybe if Dook wins and Seth stomps K's ass! Maybe then there would be some semblance of victory for me!
Im a diehard Heels fan as well. So you know I hate Puke with a passion. But I also hate the arrogance of the majority of Tech fans Ive come across. I hate them with a passion as well.
Is it possible for them both to lose? [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]
Unfortunately, no. Maybe if they get in a big brawl and the zebs call a forfeit!
A reason to hate Dook: a friend in NC took her eighth grade girls team to a BB camp...K was a guest coach. Within 30 minutes after K takes the floor, with his vocabulary filled with raunchy language, she told her girls to go get dressed. They left the camp. What a role model for young girls.
washington from tech is a punk
So, in the last two VT Basketball games there have been 2 Technical Fouls, an ejection, suspension, and an intentional foul. All the while they flashback to when Washington kicks Melchioni in the face.
Hey, the Hokie way is the thug way...
Not having seen VPI, I am surprised at how dirty they play.
And ol' Charlie boy aspires to make Tech a top ten research school in the country. lmao

[vthokiewhinercrybaby]Now you know Washington was just doing a bit for his drama class on that one. I even helped him set it up. I also help him put on his jock every night.[/vthokiewhinercrybaby]
In all seriousness and I know I give VT a hard time I watch nearly every ACC Basketball game that I can get and you never see stuff like this in other games. Other schools have fan issues but for the most part the players behave.
Cant wait to vthokie to argue that those kicks amd intentional fouls never happened.

Thugs, misfits, and malcontents. And that's referring to the coaches...players are much worse. lol

Well, if you don't have the talent to match up, just beat the hell out of the opposition.

Boney,
Where was this team from? Not too many 8th grade teams in NC and I was wondering where this happened.
First of all I do not believe Coach K would use this language as you speak of. I am not a Duke or NC fan. I just like to watch good basketball. Anyway, I have worked camps in Eastern Invitational Camp, The Pocano Invitaional Camp, Raleigh, Winston Salem and UNC -Charlotte..places where Coach K has guest spoke. He has always talked about hard work, school, and respect...blah, blah, blah but I have NEVER seen him use profanity in ANYTHING he talked about......and these were high school boys.
Some of you have made up your minds already about Coach K but what I have seen of him, but he was nothing but a class act and he and Coach Williams are great coaches and recruitors (sp)!
She taught in Charlotte. I wasn't there, but I believe her story. That's all I know, but I have read his lips during many games, and I have no reason to doubt her.
Being a Hoo fan I dislike Duke just because they are Duke and Tech because regardless what they may say they are not relevant. History tells us that the two teams normally play an entertaining game but if I have to watch Washington flop on the floor one more time like a fish out of water Im gonna turn the tv off and turn on some music. Tech has some good freshmen playing but lack the true team concept. Hopefully for them that will come in time. Maybe not after all they still recruit the 757 and the unsportsmanship antics will just continue to be accepted as justification that sports rules Tech. Its a shame because they have made so many strides in academics. Ill get off the soapbox and pass it along now
I went to the Coach K coaching clinic this past fall and he did break out some nice language. Basically the camp is where coaches go and watch Duke practice while Coach K explains the drills and their purpose. At one point in the morning session, the guys were dogging it (this was their 8th practice of this season) and he laid into them pretty good, dropping about 5 F bombs in the course of a few minutes.
I thought it was pretty hilarious. I'm a Duke fan though. The coaches I was with just made note that the language wasn't something we were to take note of to bring back to teach at practice.

I am pretty sure Teddy does ACC games as well. Actually I just looked it up and the ACC/SEC made a regional officiating program in 2000 and officials for both conferences are assigned form the same place. So Teddy isn't exclusive to the SEC, but I think does a good job when he calls ACC games.
As far as wachington from VT, that guy is pure (_______), the next place you will see him playing after he leaves tech will be the local park. He has no concept of team ball and plays street ball instead of basketball.
Teddy works all conferences it seems like. He was in Lubbock the night before the UT/Vandy game he worked calling the Tech/A&M game. You used to see him in the mini-dome quite often as well when ETSU was ranked.
I am glad I am not the only one who can't stand to watch Washington play, and it has nothing to do with my hatred for VT, this kid is just all over the place. If the right person could get under his skin a little, he would try and knock somebody out, moreso than what he already accomplished. He looks like a cat that could easily be rattled and knocked off his "game".
The fact that he is a very average player is what is so hilarious. He acts and attempts to play like he is better than everyone. No wonder that athletic program is a joke.
