Again, that is not true. You do not have to be motionless for an offensive foul to be called on the player you're guarding. You've gone from saying it was the correct call to arguing that it won't be called. It is absolutely an offensive foul. If it weren't, defensive players would have to learn how to dodge the players they're guarding at all times to avoid fouling out. If you were arguing that it should have been a no-call, I would at least think you kind of understand what you're talking about.

Whatever. I'm going to put this in the category of topics I don't really need to interact with you on. I simply don't respect your opinion. And it's not because it doesn't match mine.

Great point. I'll be talking about it in 2025 if Duke benefits the way they did in this tourney (and the season, generally) again.
I assume you'll stop wanting to discuss [income inequality/racism/conservative morons/insert any topic discussed on this or the politics board on any given day] any minute now too?
