February 26, 201610 yr Grayson Allen of Duke Blue Devils won't be suspended by ACC for apparent trip Duke star guard Grayson Allen will not be suspended by the ACC for his apparent trip of Florida State's Xavier Rathan-Mayes during Thursday's game. The ACC announced its decision Friday afternoon, saying it has issued a reprimand to the Blue Devils' leading scorer. "The ACC considers the matter closed and will have no further comment," the league said in a brief statement. No idea what that means. Never really heard of any other player being issued a reprimand by a conference.

February 27, 201610 yr After all of this you think he'll blatantly trip someone again? I can see him doing something dirty but I think he'll abandon the tripping routine. IMO the latest trip looked like a reflexive reaction. Maybe the boy just can't help himself and needs counseling.
February 27, 201610 yr That's different. Refs can't shoot foul shots. So you're saying Isiah Briscoe is actually a ref?
February 27, 201610 yr G. Allen ..just another in a line of cheap shot players through the years at Duke. Players at Duke are the "golden children" for some reason. Any other school other than the NCAA's poster program and/or different coach and Grayson along with others before him (like Laettner) and they would be labled "dirty", "thugs", etc across sports media around the country. People don't dislike or hate Duke bc they win, Duke is an excellent program and coached by arguably the best coach ever in college basketball history. People dislike Duke bc of players like this painted with "pretty boy" type images and getting excused. That, along with getting what seems like every break in the world by the officials along with the NCAA. Edited February 27, 201610 yr by oldrambler

"Another in the long line of cheap shot players at Duke" are your words and you named two Dukies from the last 40 years. I'll help you out and throw Gerald Henderson into the mix for you. Who are the others in the line of "cheap shot players from Duke" and what did they do?
February 27, 201610 yr At the end of the day it is a flagrant foul. Flagrant fouls happen all of the time. There are different levels of flagrant fouls. Some warrant ejections and some don't. Either way, are folks calling for Grayson and to be suspended for committing a flagrant foul or because he plays for Duke?

A long list of thugs. Named me Laettner, Allen, Henderson I guess and apparently Winslow was a thug too. So we have 4 out of 40 years. Goodness, Duke just produces those thug players left and right.

Goodness, Duke just produces those thug players left and right. And the only reason he said Winslow is because of his haircut. Winslow never did anything shady on the court.

February 27, 201610 yr I am not a Duke guy, but you Duke fans on here, why are you running post to post to defend your guys to these over-zealous UK fans painting with broad brushes? Me no understand.
