The saga continues ...

This is the best set of replays I've seen so far on Gerald Henderson's hack on Tyler Hansbrough Sunday in Chapel Hill. In my opinion, the third replay (around the 34-second mark of the clip) is proof positve he deserved the ejection and one-game suspension he received for the foul.

I hate seeing anyone get a face full of blood, but this just further fuels the greatest.rivalry.ever. If you've never read "Blue Blood" by Art Chansky - a book about the UNC-Duke rivalry - I suggest picking it up.
I have a feeling "Henderson hacks Hansbrough" will be a chapter in a future edition ...

Total crap. Hansbrough is just a whiny brat. Henderson's eyes were closed. I guess you see what you want to see. I have no dog in this fight and the refs screwed up.

I don't think the refs screwed up at all. This wasn't your average block attempt (see Henderson's stiff downward arm motion in the replay) and it resulted in a bloody face and broken nose.
I don't believe he meant to break his nose, but it was flagrant and ruled "a combative and confrontational action" ... grounds for ejection and one-game suspension.

I'm with you, Gabe. By the way, still liking the Shelby Daily?
