Before you give him too much credit:

Quote:
The NCAA asked Christensen to write a formal letter of apology to referee Bruce Benedict for his actions following the March 19 game.


Somehow, I don't think he was doing this simply out of the goodness of his heart.

He got off easy. He wouldn't have got off as easy in the NBA.

No, wait, I'm sorry. He went to Duke. He doesn't have to worry about playing in the NBA!

My, My, My. Is the frustration of the UNC record this past year showing? Can you say Shane Battier - player of the year last year. Didn't see "carolina blue" there anywhere.

Shane Battier was the Player of the Year in the NBA last year? WOW! Are you sure about that? I think you're mistaken.

As for my dislike of Duke, it has nothing to do with last year. Carolina fans have never liked Duke, even when Carolina had great teams year after year and Duke struggled to stay out of the cellar. They have the best coach in college basketball. However, very few Duke players have ever excelled in the NBA. Can you say Danny Ferry?
