Top 10 Reasons Why Henderson Hit Hansbrough:
(You have to be familiar with ACC history to get some of these)
10. He wanted to show the Duke football team how to hit someone.
9. He was attempting to block the shot, assuming Hansbrough was trying to shoot his head into the basket.
8. He didn't feel like playing next Thursday night anyway; that's Ugly Betty time!
7. Ticky-tack ACC refs insist on calling a foul when you elbow a guy in the face and make him bleed.
6. He would have stepped on him, but he didn't want to steal Laettner's move.
5. He just hasn't been himself since Anna Nicole left us.
4. You'd be pissed off, too, if you went to Duke and wound up on a crappy team.
3. He wanted to prove that unlike J.J. Redick, he could connect in the last 15 seconds of a game.
2. He figured the flagrant foul would be put on Pete Gaudet's record.
AND
1. As a Duke defender, he was trying to slap the floor when Hansbrough's face got in the way.
