I watched the replay again, just to see. Henderson's head was turning the whole damn time he was in the air. So, he wasn't looking at Tyler the whole time. That being said, he was way too forceful with his arm motion. Like I said above, I agree with the ejection, but I still don't consider it an outright attack.

I DO think that if this situation had come up in, say, FSU-Miami and not Evil Empire vs. Poor Psycho T, it wouldn't have even cracked the posts for the day.

That's because most of the media reflexively fellate Duke. They wouldn't do the same for FSU or Miami, hence there wouldn't be anything to post about.

Even the Duke apologists I know aren't debating that an ejection was warranted and therefore an automatic suspension.

Coach K seems to be debating that point.

That said, I'd have been interested to see the comparative level of vitriol had Deadspin been this active when John Chaney sent in a player for the express purpose of slugging an opponent. Twenty bucks says it wouldn't have been as fierce.

Again, nobody was reflexively defending Chaney, and Temple isn't historically a media darling a la Duke. That's what drives the vitriol. It would be a different story if anyone had sacked up during the press conference last night and called K on his Hansbrough-shouldn't-have-been-in-the-ga... bullshit.

]]> <![CDATA[Billy Packer, Information Dissemination Specialist]]> @BrockLanders: You're right about Coach K's post-game protestations. Not excusable.

But that's part of the reason I brought up the rivalry game: neither coach was going to be bringing in the subs and both teams were going to be going at it 100%. I don't think he was "innocently going after the ball" but I DO think that if this situation had come up in, say, FSU-Miami and not Evil Empire vs. Poor Psycho T, it wouldn't have even cracked the posts for the day.

But since a Duke player is involved, we're all supposed to accept the standard "he's a good kid, Coach K is a class act, he's a leader who teaches kids to play the right way" platitudes without question.

Who said that? Not even the media is going that far, except for Packer and calling him respectable media is a stretch. Even the Duke apologists I know aren't debating that an ejection was warranted and therefore an automatic suspension.

That said, I'd have been interested to see the comparative level of vitriol had Deadspin been this active when John Chaney sent in a player for the express purpose of slugging an opponent. Twenty bucks says it wouldn't have been as fierce.

Pat Forde said "There was only so much falling upon the sword Coach K could tolerate, right there in the Dean Dome after getting his head handed to him."

Honestly, if Henderson wanted to knock Hansbrough in the face, Henderson would be watching Hansbrough the whole time he was in the air. However, thanks to the CBS Instant Reply, we can clearly see Henderson was swinging his arm down in order to go after the ball, and his eyes were focused on where the ball was. It was unintentional, but worthy of ejection.

Zach Everson

]]> <![CDATA[Billy Packer, Information Dissemination Specialist]]> @MDT: Why is it relevant that it was a rivalry game? Are there different rules in rivalry games? Are they like Tables, Ladders & Chairs matches in WWE, where pretty much anything goes?

I don't think Henderson meant to damn near break Hansbrough's nose, but let's not pretend (as many Duke apologists are) that he was innocently going for the ball. At least, I've never attempted to block a shot with my elbow.

Regarding what I want: That depends upon whether Coach K -- renowned "leader" that he is -- actually abides by the one-game suspension without complaint. Because yesterday, he was crying about how John Swofford or somebody else at the ACC office should take a look at it. And rather than accepting accountability, is he still blaming the opposing coach for the lineup he chose to put on the floor coming out of a Duke timeout (which would indicate that Coach K didn't think the game was over).

If a pro had done this, there'd be a steady stream of hand-wringing about thuggish behavior in the NBA. But since a Duke player is involved, we're all supposed to accept the standard "he's a good kid, Coach K is a class act, he's a leader who teaches kids to play the right way" platitudes without question. Fuck that. Henderson may be a good kid, but he deserves to be suspended and Coach K should shut the fuck up, stop blaming the opposing coach and start living up to his self-anointed status as a shaper of young men.

Michael Bertin

]]> <![CDATA[Billy Packer, Information Dissemination Specialist]]> Are you joking? That foul wasn't intentional. What happened was the white player BEHIND Hansbrough hit him on the shoulder, preventing him from jumping completely, and thus leaving him in place for the awkward mid-air collision. If Hansbrough's upward progress hadn't been stopped, the guy's downward arm motion would have been in line for a block of the ball, not an elbow to his face. Sure, it looked bad to the naked eye, but replays clearly showed what happened.

]]> <![CDATA[Billy Packer, Information Dissemination Specialist]]> Coach K, in the wake of Jim Larranaga's decision to suspend Tony Skinn last year under similar circumstances:

"It sends chills through my entire body to hear what Jim did," Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "Honestly, if he was here right now, I'd give him a big hug. We need more coaches to have the courage to step up in situations like this and say to our kids, 'That's wrong; I'm not making excuses for you.' If I were in the same situation, I hope I'd be gutsy enough and strong enough to do the same thing, but I can't swear to you that I would. If a big-name coach did something like that, people would be fitting him for sainthood by tomorrow.

"Whatever Jim does the rest of his career, any championships he might win, this is as good and as important a thing as he'll ever do as a coach. I can't tell you how much I admire him for doing this."

JN: Wouldn't that be to avoid having bits of skull and brain matter hit him in the face?

BP: Don't be ridiculous. Anyone who thinks that Booth is that kind of player, just doesn't know him. Besides, what was Lincoln still doing in the box that late in the play? He should have been at home resting up for the reconstruction. Lincoln needed to see the third Act like he needed another hole in his head. He was practically asking for it.

Anyway, the point I am trying to make about Booth is that after suffering a painful broken leg, the kid insists on staying in the game. He ran, what, two miles on that leg? He's a true American hero, the kind of fella I hoped my daughter would marry.
