November 20, 200817 yr Hate it for the young man, and as others have said, wasn't that hard of a foul. He broke the wrist when he tried to break his fall.
November 20, 200817 yr Another video from a different angle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfYyDzeFnVY At worst it seems Harris got him with the hip as he went by but it was far, far from dirty. I wonder if the biggest problem is the question why is your starting center (with Psycho T out) still in the game at 1:26? Just like the time Rodney Dent has his knee destroyed by Bryan Milburn of Vandy, it happens. It wasn't intentional, it's what sometimes happens in sports.

November 20, 200817 yr Because he's a true freshman in his second collegiate game... I understand that reasoning but the flip side goes that you have another young center on the bench that needs experience and it might be that Hansbrough is bothered by this shin issue all year. Woudn't it make sense to perserve your best backup and give still another youngster playing time? I'm not jumping Roy on this but it's much more of a problem IMO that he's in there versus whether Ramon Harris should contest a dunk. (which he did so with a lot less contact than hundreds of other such plays you or I have probably seen.)
November 20, 200817 yr They showed that long shot of it, and you could see the wrist go in a way it wasn't supposed to....gross.... While he was going for the dunk, I thought to myself, this is a bad idea....get the deuce and live to play another play.
November 20, 200817 yr I hate that for the kid. Ive talked to a a couple people who know him and they say he is a fine young man. I hate it for him. UNC will miss having 4 very high quality interior players rather than 3 now. That being said, they will be fine.
November 20, 200817 yr I saw a picture that shows Harris' arm hit him on the left side of his head as he went for the block, nothing dirty though.
November 20, 200817 yr He shouldn't have been in the game that late in the contest. The game was over at that point & that is why you take starters out late in a contest with the game out of reach.
November 20, 200817 yr But he's not a starter, he's a 7th man, at best. He got very little contact while a little out of control and landed awkwardly. Hell, I do that twice a day...

November 20, 200817 yr Hard, but clean foul. Hard to tell from the television angle, but it cetainly didn't look like Zeller had room to fall and probably had to catch himself awkwardly. It's shame, I don't like UNC, but I don't want to see anyone miss their entire season. Good luck and hope for a full recovery

November 21, 200817 yr Not sure, but Dickie V's an annoying moron...I'm not surprised. Yes he is and I hate to listen to him. That crap gets old.
