Good for her! I have huge respect for Kara. She is a good coach, and a good person. Glad she brought it up publicly, too. You have to wonder how the refs missed it. Don't they check the ball before the game?

Don't they check the ball before the game? Unstated, but I think Kara strongly insinuated - and I agree - that the men's game is officiated better and the NCAA & ACC Conference are also complicit to a degree with the way they devalue the women's game. |

The ACC answers, but something is fishy? Why would the official change the ball if they had the correct one? Seems like a lack of attention to detail from the get go and both Fl State & the ACC just want it to go away? I put my trust in Kara.... |

I will never trust the conference when there is an allegation like this. I just won’t.

Kara's assistant was in the NBA. Kara was an assistant coach for the Celtics. Credibility - Duke. Lack of Credibility - conference.

There was no remedy for what happened (if it happened) so the conference acted like most other power centers, they wrote a pile of crap and said no. Lawson didn't make any friends in the conference's executive suite.

I agree that things are strange. When was it put into play? When was it noticed? Also, there's video, should be able to see the labels and even measure bounce and weight characteristics. I can't see Kara raising the subject unless she truly believes it to be true. She has too much to lose and virtually nothing to gain. There are a couple of balls available for any D1 game. Hard to believe nobody noticed. |

I have shot with the women's basketball. It was when I went to the gym with my sons, when they were very young.
There's no way that you would play even a minute, never mind a half, without multiple players noticing that it wasn't the correct size ball that they were using.
