Rules for Duke

This is just plain amazing. You want to know why the ACC is so much fun to watch, while the Big Ten is painful? It is because they play with a different set of rules in the ACC. Watch this and tell me exactly what the official could have been looking at other than the obvious travel.

While we are on the subject of Duke, here is another youtube video comparing Duke's flopping to scared goats. It is pretty funny.




So to recap, the reason teams like Duke are so good, and able to score so many points is because they aren't allowed to travel. You can't get within 3 feet of them when they are shooting a 3 (kinda like the halo rule for returning punts) and you are not allowed to drive into the lane against them.
