In the Duke-Kentucky regional final in 1992, so great was the game that many reporters glossed over the appalling performance of the refs in ignoring that Duke's Christian Laettner had deliberately stepped on the chest of Kentucky's Aminu Timberlake as the latter lay on the floor.
The Handcheck -
The handcheck is an illegal defensive technique in which a defender places his hand on an opposing ball handler to facilitate shadowing the opponent and to obstruct his ease of movement. Although the NCAA official rulebook expressly prohibits handchecking, Duke players execute this illegal defensive technique on every halfcourt defensive set. Duke players are immune from this particular rule and are never whistled for personal fouls as a result.
