That Was Stupid
Ok if you're BC and you're down 3 with 14 seconds left, don't you shoot a three?
And if you're Shelden Williams and your team is up 3 with less than 10 seconds left, don't you not foul if someone takes it inside?
And if you're an ACC referee and your only responsibility at the game is to observe violations, blow your whistle when you think you see one, and then make frantic hand gestures to communicate your thoughts to the players and coaches involved, don't you call that obvious foul on Shelden?
The answer to all three of those questions is "not if you're stupid," which apparently all three aforementioned parties are. What a stupid ending to an otherwise entertaining game. Kudos to BC for digging out of that hole. I caught some of the game when they were down like 18 and couldn't get a shot off, then 10 minutes later when I got back home from the gym they were back within 6 and magically playing offense again. I was reasonably impressed.
As a side note, Shelden Williams isn't actually stupid. He shows a knack for making heady plays in crunch time, and I like any big man who hits free throws. It's like getting a burrito and then finding a gold doubloon in it. "What? Haha ok, I'll take it!" You know? His only real downsides are that his name is "Shelden" and that his face looks like an egg's face would, if eggs had faces. See:

Anyone? Great.
