When I was in school, Duke players routinely gave a hand to opposing players who hit the deck, to pull them to their feet, especially if they had committed the foul. This favor was usually returned at some point. Nowadays (thumbs hitched in suspenders) it seems solely the responsibility of a guy's teammates to lend him a hand, which I find disappointing.
Without picking on Kyle in particular, I remember noticing a recent occasion where Singler had a perfect opportunity to help someone up who he had fouled, but he just turned his back and went to the 5 player pre-free throw huddle.
I'd like to see a change. Of course, I'd probably leave a Tar Heel on the floor waiting for his teammates
. Anyone else agree, or am I just getting long in the tooth and yearning for a return to old-school gentility?
