Hurley Should Have Called for Technical

The incident occurred with 0.4 seconds remaining in the game as Mullins' three-pointer gave UConn a one-point lead over Duke. Amid the post-shot chaos, Hurley made physical contact with a referee by lightly head-butting him.

Many observers noted that Hurley's actions warranted a technical foul that could have changed the game's outcome. Hurley has a reputation for pushing referees to their limits, and this incident adds to his history of controversial interactions with officials. No technical was called, and UConn proceeded to the Final Four.
