Has Gerald Henderson played his last game in Cameron?

The good folks of WRAL asked Gerald Henderson if he watched the senior celebrations before the Florida State game and wondered if he was playing his last game in Cameron.
Henderson, a junior said, “I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t want to take part in that.
“I’m just focused on this year, and I’m looking forward to next year.”
Notice he didn’t say “next year at Duke.”
Other observations from the sideline…
-- The Lance Thomas injury can seriously hamper Duke as the season continues. Coach Mike Krzyzewski says his high ankle sprain could be serious. The team is far from strong on the inside, but Thomas at least helps this team defensively and can find some baskets here and there more than, say…Brian Zoubek. By the way, notice you will never hear the Crazies chant, “Brian doesn’t foul! Brian doesn’t foul!”
-- During pregame, I saw a piece of paper that outlines each song the band will play during each timeout and what chants the Cameron Crazies will do. It wasn’t the standard Crazies chant sheet. It said things like: “First TV Timeout: Wipeout/mascot surf”, “Third TV Timeout: Crazy Towel Guy chant”, etc. I knew Cameron games have become more of a routine rather than spontaneous theater, but there was some proof.
-- As I watch the national anthem, I wonder, how many a cappella groups does Duke University have? It seems like a new one trots out there to sing the anthem every game. All are perfectly fine, but there just seems to be a lot of them.
-- I don’t doubt the legitimacy of wearing ear plugs if you’re recovering from a concussion like Nolan Smith is, but can someone get him a different color of plugs other than hot pink?
