The best officiating crews are ones in which the three calmest people in the arena are the game officials. It seems that several posters in here get pretty excited and emotional very quickly in a chat room of all places...

Since this is totally a subjective ruling by the officials, I think it's a little disengenuous to say that their ruling is the only ruling that is acceptable. Isn't possible that the officials could have handled it this way: personal foul on #51 Duke, Flagrant Technical Foul on Henderson (Henderson ejected - NOT for fighting/combative action)? That is the scenario that I would have gone with. I don't have a major problem with what the officials ruled, I have consistently expressed a differing opinion....isn't there room for a differing opinion? Do you absolutely have to be right and I have to be completely wrong?
When I first saw play in real time, it was clearaly intentional from the cheap seats. ...

Looking from the several angles I dont see how you call anything on #51. Looks like a pretty good block to me,,,Even if he gets some arm its way after ball has been blocked. Those are the plays you let go.

It was intentional and flagrant. No doubt deserves to be ejected, and a one game suspension for being ejected is appropriate. You get tossed in high school game here its at least one game, should not be any different up there (except the money)...
In the NBA this would have been flagrant 2, and the league would have decide the suspensions. Great call...
