On the cheapshot by the Duke player yesterday
Video (with slomo) of Henderson clearly hitting Hansbrough with the palm of his hand

Billy Packer makes up every excuse that he can even the "he shouldn't have been in there"

Krzyzewski questioned whether Hansbrough and Henderson should have been on the court with UNC leading 84-72.
"Unfortunately, we probably both should have had walk-ons in," Krzyzewski said.

1. it's only fair to read the earlier coach K quote:
"The game was over before that," he said. "I mean the outcome of the game, let's put it that way. That's unfortunate, too, that those people were in the game in that play. Maybe this wouldn't have happened."

way to follow one cheap shot with another.

2. Did Coach K have all his walk-ons in the game?
Apparently not. He is clearly trying to deflect blame onto UNC and Roy Williams. There is never any excuse to take a shot like Henderson did. Never.

3. walkons?
he'd called a timeout 20 seconds before.

Coach K is learning that it is much harder to be classy when you keep losing to Carolina. And there was a sub for Hansborough at the scorer's table, he would have been out if the free throw had gone in.

4. What do you expect from Duke?
Remember that so-called "game of the century" back in, I think, 1992, when Duke beat Kentucky on a last-second shot? Well, before Duke threw it down the floor, Christian Laettner kicked a Kentucky player in the head and nothing was ever called. At that point, I started disliking Duke and they've done nothing since to make me like them any better.
