So possibly as much as the first 5 minutes of their next game?

Up to and including the first half of the next game.  That'll teach him his lesson!

Well...the North Dakota player DID violate the norms/decorum of the game. Baer on Iowa rebounded a miss with 5 seconds left and Iowa up 11. Baer stood slack to let the clock run out. The North Dakota player wrestled the ball out of Baer's hands and tried to shoot it back in.

Even my fifth grader knows how this stuff works; his rec league team was up 15 last week and he rebounded with 15 seconds left. Instead of playing through, he dribbled just past the midcourt line and stopped cold. Handed the ball to the ref at midcourt as the clock ran out. (My kid watches a lot of college basketball, and thanks to IUBB scheduling, has seen the "end of game cupcake shuffle" many times! lol).

 

Oh ok well then in that case

So I'm 5 rows behind Duke bench, Grayson blatantly trips opposing guard, screams F--- toward bench & throws a full blown temper tantrum when T is called. Very nice for all the families in attendance.

Another example of the class act that he is. And yet it will be blamed on duke being hated. Puhlease. What a turd.

Remember, sports is purely and merely entertainment. Bad moments merely provide contrast so that the good moments feel even better!

Maturity is when you stop complaining and making excuses, and start making changes.

Do get some help the kid is a psychology major after all.

Statement by ACC Commissioner John Swofford:

“The ACC supports the actions taken by Duke University, Kevin White and Mike Krzyzewski surrounding the suspension of Grayson Allen following last night’s game versus Elon,” said ACC Commissioner John Swofford. “Sportsmanship is one of the core values of our league, and the action by Duke demonstrates adherence to this important principle.”

Spineless cowards would support the actions of Coach K if he named himself the ACC Commissioner and took their salaries.

In other words ... "Thank God Krzyzewski did something because we would never have had the kahunas to offend the Dukies."

So if Duke suspends Allen a whopping 5 minutes, the ACC will be OK with that because it's Duke.   More spineless than the NCAA.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

ESPN will make a big deal out of Grayson Allen because it's what they do, but Draymond Green legitimately kicks me every few games and they never stop the Golden State love affair. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

In regards to the new allegations against UNC, this from Dana O'Neil at ESPN

If I am reading legalese properly, NCAA has put back extra benefits allegations that it had removed in North Carolina's amended notice of allegation. And the words "men's basketball" appear once more.

Suspend him and mock him. That's it.

Oh "LeBron-avatar IU message board poster speaking for LeBron", quit yer' whining!  ;)

The meaning of Teddy Roosevelt's quote:

He is speaking about those who criticize a person's work or practice, but the critics do not know the path. Not even victory or defeat have they tasted. In other words, who are they to criticize a man who goes through much hardship and effort, one that doesn't talk the talk, but walk the walk.
