it's a moot point anyway, the only person that knows whether or not gerald henderson meant to throw a forearm at tyler hansborough is gerald henderson.

I generally agree with my pacific northwest pal Milo. However, there is no doubt that UNC is the most overrated program in the country. Also, ut 4 me, you can take your respect and give it to Goodwill. I could not imagine a scenario under which I could care less about someone's opinion.

I love how Hansboro stayed down like a punk and got up and then had words when all his boys were around. What was Hansboro going to do when he got up challenge him to a round of golf at the nearest Country Club. I mean it wasn't like he couldn't see him do it. With those Owl eyes it's hard not to see much.

I doubt henderson meant to cause harm to hansbrough but anyone who has played knows you can get a shot in on a guy and make it look like a play on the ball. The ball was clearly below hansbrough's face! henderson didn't mean to bloody him up but he was trying to block the ball and get a hard foul for sure.

So twice this year (first time being by JaJuan Smith) Hansbrough gets some incidental contact while in the air and he springs up acting like he is gonna do something. I think the thing that bugs me more than anything is that the two players who fouled him in both instances were ejected from the game. My question is would people be getting thrown out of the game if these fouls were on Ryan Childress?

Why in the world would anyone think that hit was intentional? He was going for a block, and the other guy hit the ball loose..In no way it was a punch. Even the announcers were in disbelief..and not it was not Dickie V...Just another excuse for everyone to get on Duke's back. And why was Hansborogh in the game with like 14 seconds left to go and a 12 point lead?...This just gives me more fuel to why I hate UNC that much more...b/c in their eyes of course Henderson threw a punch

It's the All-American treatment. The same reason why Lofton usually gets the call when he drives to the basket. Just have to accept it I guess.

there is no way that contact was incidental. The j. smith foul was garbage but the ball was well out of hansbrough's hands before the henderson starting swinging his arm. I doubt he meant to hurt him but anyone who has played knows there are ways to go after somebody and make it look like you were going for the ball. At minimum he meant it to be a very hard foul, the fact that his head was turned and eyes were closed means he couldn't of been going for the ball since he would not have been able to see the ball!!!

Henderson did not throw a punch but i haven't seen that many shots blocked with a forearm/elbow. If he was just going for the ball wouldn't his hand have hit him and not his forearm, at minimum it was a flagrant foul. Williams said he had a sub coming in for hansbrough but the shooter missed the free throw.

I have a man crush on Hansbrough, this kid busts his balls every game, he is a sealing machine down low, he's hard core, he's psycho, he's everything a true post player should be. all my friends say that he is my long lost brother because our style of play is a lot a like. along with our short tempers.

i thought yesterdays call was justified. he didn't punch him, but he did swing down on him so i don't blame hansbrough at all for gettin up. i would've done the same. i'm guessing bwee763 would've got up and gave henderson a hug, if he was hansbrough. its called passion, short tempered psychoness, a true post player, and thats y hansbrough is a Bad A

The Smith ejection was ridiculous. The one yesterday was justified. I don't think Henderson meant to draw blood, but it was clear he was trying to foul hard without regard for where the ball was. If Hansbrough didn't spring up and act like he wanted to do something, you'd be talking about how soft he was.

I understand where he was coming from in jumping up like that. It's natural for a lot of guys to get infuriated when somebody hits you in the face, and especially draw blood.

If Hansborough had not lost the ball his elbow would have never came in contact with his face..It was just hard nosed (no pun intended) basketball...Henderson would not just intentionally do that. On Hansbourghs defense, Id be a bit mad too if I just got my nose busted. B/c in his mind he thought it was intentional. Hansbourgh is just abit of a hothead and plays with passion, which there is nothing wrong with that. This is just another example of this crazy rivarly.

So it Hansbrough's fault b/c he lost the ball? Who plays hard nosed basketball down by 12 with 14 seconds left?

honestly, i thought it was intentional. but i also think that it was just a quick reaction that he would take back if he could. its a reaction you just don't think about and don't even remember doing

I was in the same situations When I was playing basketball back in high school. I don't know if this is the same as Henderson's. It's intentional, but it's not like I am gonna get there and kill that motherfxxxxx. It's like I get there and play so hard (aided with loser sore), and make some uncommon hard move which I wouldn't normally do. The consequence is obvious, I will hurt someone really bad.

I agree about Hansbrough popping up.The only thing I wonder about the foul is if it had been a two point game, it would have been an aggressive foul but down by 12 with 45 seconds to me he was way too aggressive and out of frustration.That's why I think he added a little umpth to the foul.

Hansboro wasn't going to do a damn thing about it. If he wanted to get at that guy he could. He just wanted to get up and save face from getting put out like a punk. Hansboro is a punk and yesterday confirmed it for me.

Screw you Hat. Tar Heels rock.

And i saw it happen live, it wasnt a cheap shot. He hit him with his elbow. He didnt punch him. Bad call if you ask me.

What does watching it live on TV have to do with you having a better opinion of it? The link in this thread shows everything you saw.

It wasn't even his elbow.

Henderson would qualify more as a punk. Taking a cheap shot at someone and using the excuse that it was unintentional, would be a punk.

1. I agree that it wasn't intentional.
2. All the UNC fans complaining about this have the collective cajones of my dog; her name is Maggie.
3. Coach K, you have no right to be complaining about who the other team is fielding late in the game. Stop whining and start winning more games, right now Duke is still steady on the path of most overrated program in the country.

Thank you. I love UNC, but it was just a reaction to the ball. Not intentional.
