That's a great article - thanks for sharing. Interesting to read about the dissent on the sidelines over missing the free throw.

I also enjoyed:

Two weeks later John Adams, the NCAA officials supervisor, reviews the tape of the game. A still photo has been circulating that seems to indicate that Hayward did not get off his shot in time. He did. "The try was good," says Adams. "It would have counted."

Howard's pick is another matter. "That's the one that would have kept me up at night," says Adams. "All night, those three officials created an environment where the team that played best could win. But in a vacuum, that's probably an illegal screen. If Hayward had made the shot, we'd probably be talking a lot more about that screen."

Finally, retribution for those of us who were outraged about the screen, even after having won the game.

I too loved this article and appreciate your sharing it, Ash.
I'd like to share another quote, my favorite of the piece. In reminiscing about the game, Gordon Hayward said, ""Duke was, by far, the hardest-playing team we faced. Physical and clean, just getting after it on every possession, just like we play."
Imagine that...someone singled us out specifically for hard-fought, clean play. I will undoubtedly be trotting that one out as evidence as someone who claims we get by on preferential officiating at some point. I consider that quote very high praise from a player like Gordon Hayward, whom I'd have loved to have at Duke.
