Duke Women played with Men’s B-ball vs FSU

[Dad2ze]

Lawson said during her recent presser that the players told the assistants and they confronted the table at FSU who refused to change the ball but the head official did. The ACC would not let her appeal the game. If this were a Men’s game the ACC would be in an uproar.

Can you imagine if this happened at Cameron! They would have a full investigation about all their games played so far. The 3Q they sucked with the Women’s ball but they have sucked all year during the 3Q. You’re right though. If this were a high school game maybe. For the ACC and the head official changed the ball tells you all you need to know.

Dad almost makes you wonder if someone was on the take. Your scenario of a hypothetical at Cameron, and the CONSEQUENCES are spot-on.

The ACC MUST take a deep look into this matter at the FSU game. The fact Duke coach Kara Lawson was not allowed to play the game under protest is perplexing. The entire matter smacks of corruption!! OFC

My daughter is 15 and can tell the difference in mens/womens immediately. How did it take a half in this case?

Have we been playing with the woman's ball? Might explain our shooting.

Reminds me of that Seinfeld episode when George said something like "Women want equality, but when the dinner check comes, where are they?" lol

Same! It’s a different feel. I’m sure they said something and at the half when it was checked was when they scrambled. Who knows.
