Incredible. @VCU_Hoops was down by one with 0.4 to go, gets the foul call, and knocks down free throws to win it. https://t.co/qVF8VhNAut

Hook, line, and sinker. My goodness. Just keep giving Will Wade that dry erase pen and let him do his thing, because apparently he's drawing up masterpieces on the VCU sideline. Considering I had no idea what I was looking at until it was fully executed, I think it's fair to say that was a Picasso-esque play call. Gamesmanship at it's most majestic. He should have a picture of that charge/block blown up so he can sign the bottom of it and name is 'Stealing Victory From The Jaws Of Defeat', because if the court is a basketball coach's canvas then that game winning decision might just be his life's work. 

Now granted, it ended up giving VCU it's second undeserved victory in two games and served a soul-shattering defeat to the team that should have/already kinda had won, but I'm of the school of thought that you don't apologize for winning. Especially when an act of sheer genius is responsible for it. If I were a George Washington fan I would be cursing that official into a line of work where public scrutiny isn't a forgone conclusion, but Will Wade deserves all the credit in the world for putting him in the undesirable position to have to call a foul a foul even though it had no effect on a likely futile play. You can say that divine intervention has played a part in VCU's last couple of games, but I think we have to tip our caps to the man whose calculated prayer was answered...
