Never seen that call in my life. How is that even feasibly possible? You either charge a player and the play is dead, or you get an and one. Instead of a 3 point play Duke gets to shoot 2 free throws to negate the Larkin shot. Someone please explain that to me. Oh and by the way it was not a charge. Kelly slid in their after Larkin had left the ground number one. Kelly also was not set for more that a tenth of a second.

It's called in college. The rationale, which is dumb, is that he committed the foul after he shot the ball
 
A normal charge wouldn't even result in free throws, but it's considered a loose ball foul since he had already shot, complete bull****

Ever wonder why the half circle under the basket exists? As far as I know, you cannot commit a charging foul within the half circle under the basket. The rule prohibits defenders from hanging out under the basket to try and get charging calls. Larkin was between the half circle and the end-line when that call was made.

It's happened a few times in our games this season. It's not a common call, but it does happen. Like others have mentioned, the refs called it according to the rule -- it's a stupid rule, but for some reason, the college game has that on the books. That said, it absolutely was NOT a charge on Larkin... Kelly slid under him while he was in the air and then flopped without much contact. The refs interpreted the stupid rule correctly, but they got the initial charge/block call wrong.
