First of all I am a Duke Fan.
Second, if you look at this play objectively and as a refereee, I don't see how you can say that this play did not warrant an ejection. His legs were not being taken out from underneath him. This was a dangerous/ non-basketball play. Unfortunately he now has to sit, but thems are the rules. |

Agreed. A hit like that in the NBA would get you a 10 game suspension. Crew was right on top of it. ACC should consider longer suspension.... |

For once, Billy Packer was right in one of his on-air statements (I must say that's hard for me to admit since I use the mute button often when he's talking...). Prior to Henderson hitting Hansborough, his whole body reacted to the contact that occurred between the players - not just his arms. My opinion, that I have stated earlier, is that the contact - though hard - was NOT of a combative nature and not intentional. I base my opinion on the video evidence which shows the contact between players (#51 Duke, Hansborough, and Henderson) that changed Henderson's motions from attempted shot block to instinctive reaction to prevent potential injury. It is clear that others disagree...and that is fine with me. This is one of the many areas in officiating where there is no "black and white" - simply lots of grey. |

This does not change my opinion on the play but......
Hansborough broke his nose on this play.

ACC commissioner John Swofford said Monday he was satisfied with how officials reacted Sunday. Swofford said the ACC took another look at the play Monday.
"I am satisfied with it. It's unfortunate the way the incident happened. The officials handled it well. The other players and the two coaches handled it well once the incident happened. One of the worst things that could happen is for that to set up something bigger. They all handled everything well and I'm supportive of the actions taken by the game officials." |

I did, however, see the play as a foul by 51 followed by the shot to the nose by Henderson. Had the officials chosen to penalize both sets of contact, we would have had a personal foul on #51, followed by a flagrant TECHNICAL on Henderson. In the game itself, the foul on Henderson was a flagrant personal foul. Based on the statement that the referees put out after the game, I have to assume that it was a flagrant personal foul for fighting - which is why they were able to make the call after going to the monitor.

NCAA Rule 10 Section 19. Suspensions for Fighting Art. 1. Any member or team personnel who participates in a fight (regardless of whether he or she is a player at the time) shall be assessed a flagrant technical foul. No free throws shall be attempted by either team when there are double flagrant fouls that are offsetting. Art. 2. The first time an individual participates in a fight during the season (including exhibition games), the individual shall be suspended from participating in the team’s next regular-season game (not an exhibition contest), including tournament competition. Art. 3. When an individual participates in a second fight, that individual shall be suspended for the remainder of the season, including tournament competition. Art. 8. After a game, conference offices or the assigning authority may correct an error in who was involved in a fight but cannot change an official’s ruling that a fight took place or lessen the severity of the penalty. The conference office or assigning authority may make those penalties more severe.

Those statements aren't exaggerations. They're just plain senseless. |
