let me break this down (and why i'm so pissed):

• whether or not henderson meant to clock hansbrough in the nose, it's clear from the videos he intended to commit a hard foul. this seems pretty indisputable to me. whether or not he intended it to be just a hard personal foul, it ended up looking like a flagrant. it's one thing to intentional grab somebody by the waist or arm to commit a foul, and it's another thing to attempt to throw your body at somebody else.
  
• the ncaa rulebook states that a player who commits a flagrant foul is ejected and suspended (source), meaning the referees deemed the foul as a flagrant foul, and followed the rulebook as such. any talk of "he didn't deserve an ejection" is nonsense. he committed a clear & flagrant personal foul and was ejected as such.
  
• what irks me is that if this happened with a close game, you can chalk it up to competitiveness
• however, in this case, this happens with 14 seconds in a game that's LOST. henderson went up, decided to commit a hard foul, with 14 seconds left in the game. hard fouls are made to psyche out the opponent. what is henderson doing here? psyching his opponent out for the next 12 seconds?
• should tyler been in? i don't see why not. duke called a timeout with 50 seconds left, and they were still playing the game. they were jacking up miracle 3s quickly to try to close the gap. what is roy williams supposed to do? throw in his scrubs and let duke catch up?
