i don't think that was a clear throw down at all - i'm actually surpised to hear that play being talked about as controversial
zoubek had initial possession, howard made a play on the ball and grabbed it - both were fighting for the ball and pulling on it and howard was turning toward the backstop - zoubek kind of turned with him and just released the ball .... howards own force from pulling did most of the damage
the play I thought we'd be hearing about was the charge late in the game - where I think zoubek (although not certain) slid from behind another defender into the path of the ball carrier who thought he had a clear path
I could of seen that one going as either a block, charge or play on - as such i was expecting to hear a lot of people wanting a block on that play
Maybe it was a charge, but Duke got the benefit of a call on a similar play against Baylor, one I thought changed the complexion of the game.
Either way I have a hard time believing Zoubek only committed four fouls, but I do like the refs that let them play more than the garbage we have in the Pac-10.
