MBB: Duke 76, Pitt 47 Post-game Thread

I agree with others that the calling of double-dribble has changed drastically. When I played, if you were trying to establish possession and at the end dribbled and caught the ball with both hands, you were definitely not allowed to dribble. It would result in an immediate whistle.

Over at least the past decade, if not more, this has not been called way more often than it is called. In fact, it is virtually never called. I assumed that maybe the rule had changed. I did a little reffing in municipal league games back in the day and we would have called all such instances as double-dribble.
There's a difference in slapping the ball away and dribbling to catch the ball.
 
Gillis is a 3&D guy. Foster is a guard who is a primary ball handler.

So no, I don't want Gillis subbing in for James or Proctor. And neither does Jon.
Duke ended the half with Proctor, Kon, Gillis, Flagg, and Maluach on the floor.

Was Kon playing guard or not?

Just as I predicted. Gillis is going to start getting some of Foster’s minutes too if he doesn’t start playing better.
