Re: Is Billy Packer the biggest tool in college basketball?

I think the term intentional is a fuzzy issue anyway.

Gerald Henderson clearly intended to foul Hansborough as hard as he could and not allow any "easy baskets."
When the ball got stripped Henderson had already committed and could do nothing other than collide with Hansborough.

It was reckless, but in the way driving 50 MPH in a 35 is reckless.
Generally nothing major comes of it, in this case he broke Hansborough's nose.

The officials were right to eject him. He should sit out a game, maybe two.
But lets not act like Gerald Henderson should be held up on assault charges.
