Possession Arrow

[ShortCreek]

I don't agree with tonight's initial ruling of the possession arrow. Plumlee gets the tip but hits the ball too hard and straight out-of-bounds. The Cards get the call and the ball but the arrow was given to Duke. Now they open the 2nd half with the first possession. Maybe "possession" is defined as someone other than the player tipping it obtaining it for possession, but if that is the rule interpretation I think that needs to be changed.

There are NCAA rules and then there are the Duke rules. When UL was up by 1 Duke was bringing the ball up court and the play clock clearly read 19 before the ball or player passed the half court line. The punk move of tripping should have been an foul and player ejection. That is anywhere besides Duke's home court.

Allen should have been ejected and suspended for that move. Alas, Duke players have a long history of getting away with stuff like that. Just ask Aminu Timberlake.
