Double standard for Duke, Grayson Allen, Coach K

[HallLine69]

What a farce. Grayson Allen for the second time this year blatantly trips another player, but gets off with
a reprimand, not a suspension.

Once again, saintly Duke skates. Coach K --that phoney of all possible phonies-- is spared the loss of a key player. And the punk Grayson Allen walks. Disgraceful. The kid has behaved like a thug and the only consequences he faces is a meaningless reprimand. Nothing like a stern letter in your file to make you pay for your thuggish behavior.

The ACC should be ashamed of itself. Duke should have suspended this kid of its own accord.

Can you imagine the abuse this kid would take in Cameron if he committed these acts while playing for a Duke opponent.

And people wonder why Duke attracts so much scorn. Oughta be fun to see Vitale twist himself into a pretzel to make excuses for this.

Duke sucks.

I think Josh Hart of Villanova did the same last year to either Delgado or Mobley.

I'll call you and raise you a Gibbs punch to Arch's head last year. My hold card is a whopper of a punch below the belt to win.

Gibbs got suspended. As he should have. Allen wasnt, which is the problem.

2 of the worst sports moments in SHU history. And honestly both received a slap on the hand because we needed them.

Agreed completely.

But we are talking about two different things.

Players on an NCAA MBB team committing shameful acts? Yes.

Players on ONE team always getting a pass since forever? Yes. And disgusting.

Does NOT change the truth of what occurred on our watch. Sadly.

Go watch some old big east games. Based on today's soft rules people would be calling for suspensions of a month not a game.
