Was Ryan Reid Out Of Control?

As most of you know Ty Lawson has reinjured his ankle during the Florida State game, and will most likely miss Wednesday night's showdown with Duke. Even though Carolina has survived games this year without Lawson, this will be even more of a challenge. For one; they are playing Duke, and for two; Duke is now number two in the nation. Carolina is in a pretty tight situation which could be leading to a dissapointing loss. Now less go back to the injury; early in the game Ty Lawson and FSU's Ryan Reid are fighting for a rebound, the whistle blows declaring a jump ball. At about the same time the whistle blows Reid swings his arms, taking him and Lawson to the floor. Lawson's ankle gets twisted the wrong way and he's done. I understand that Reid was fighting for the ball, but was the move that sent Lawson and himself down neccesary? It was already being declared a jump ball. Now Carolina is in a deep hole without its top two point guards. What do you think?
