At coffee this afternoon, the subject of the UK/Puke 1992 game came up, and an argument ensued, about when it happened, and when Pitino came to UK and when he left. Old Norm carries a smart phone with him, and is very good at nipping arguments in the bud, and usually, but not always, proving I am correct. Such was the case this time, and while looking through the Google page, I ran across this article from 1912, by Larry Vaught. I had never heard this.
Timberlake - Laettner
Here is an excerpt: "It has been 20 years since Duke’s historic overtime win over Kentucky in the NCAA Tournament East Region final, yet Tom Clark says there is always one question that won’t go away once anyone finds out he refereed that game.
“No matter where I go … I have been to Florida over Easter and once my brother says, ‘Guess what game he once officiated?’ that’s all anybody wants to talk about. Some will talk about the shot, but the first thing almost always is the other Christian Laettner thing,” said Clark."

He was a cheap shot artist from every sense of the word.

I didn't realize this but Laettner spent 13 seasons in the NBA and scored over 11,000 points and was a ass the whole time in the NBA too.

TIMBERLAKE SHOULD HAVE GRABBED HIM BY THE DAMN ANKLE AND DOWN HE WOULD HAVE WENT, AND THAT LAST SHOT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TAKEN, IF HE HAD DONE LARRY STAMPER LIKE THAT HE MAY NEVER HAVE PLAYED IN THE NBA.

With the way the rules are today, after looking at the replay on the monitor, He would've been tossed from the game, and he would've never been able to hit that game winning shot!

That play would have gone straight to the monitor and Laettner would have been gone!

I hate to say it, but I have a hard time watching anything that has to do with that game since!

It's history now and nothing anyone can do about it. We have to look to the future and think about 23 wins in a row!
