Grayson Allen, a starting guard for Duke and 2nd on his team in scoring, averaging 16 ppg, has tripped opponents in three separate games during 2016. This most recent incident resulted in a technical foul. Coach K has suspended him indefinitely. I'd like an opposing player to set him straight... teach him a physical lesson in the redneck tradition. Would anyone care to share their opinion?

Coach K did the right thing. I would be against any other player teaching him a lesson which could result in injury and an end to a promising career. Allen is a great talent - but needs to rein it in.

Can he skate? Those kinds of things are worked out in hockey games, but not by rednecks.

The suspension and public humiliation brought Grayson Allen to tears. I doubt he can skate. A hockey beat down might scare him to death. Some of you Canadians have deceivingly good fight prowess. I saw a video of Justin Trudeau in a ring with gloves on dishing out more than he took.
 
The kid is a ****ing psycho.
 
Yeah but didn't suspend or do anything about the guy accused of rape, until a secretary was leaving and he was afraid she'd spill the beans

Basketball 'crimes' are much more serious than real ones it seems

Thought ya'all might like to see the third trip...

 
One of our sons is a Vanderbilt graduate.

Congratulations to the Vanderbilt team and their fans for an impressive sweep of the Gators this season. Today's come-from-behind win puts them in the Big Dance!

The NCAA basketball tournament is my favorite sporting event.
