OT: David Collins Flagrant 2

[awfuldan]

Our old rival David Collins from USF grad-transferred to Clemson and is going viral with this super dangerous play against Duke earlier tonight. He got ejected and rightfully so. Apparently the kid he fouled is OK, but it's a really scary fall. Can't imagine if someone did this to one of our guys.

Super dirty play. He should be suspended in addition to getting thrown out.

 

[Mister P]

Damn, Moore’s lucky he wasn’t seriously injured.

Collins should be gone for the remainder of the regular season.

Clemson has 7 games left and isn’t going to make the NCAA tourney. He should be suspended for the rest of the season.

 

[husky429]

That's terrible. You can see him dropping his shoulder even as Moore has basically already dunked the ball. Clearly just trying to hurt him out of frustration.

Agreed that's a suspension 5+ games in my book. I'd be ashamed to have that kid on our team if I was Clemson.

 

[olehead]

He seemed like the cray cray type, just from my observation of his play during time forgotten. Not Grayson Allen or even the rhino-like guard kid from Cincinnati, but played right on that edge to where, welp no surprise. IMO.

 

[WeAreUCONN]

No blood, no foul and I don’t see any blood. Play on… life is hard, be harder. That is all.

 

[Dogman69]

Great coaching opportunity for coach K

That shouldn’t be a factor.

 

[Spaceman213J]

I hate Duke, but there is no place for this at all. Agree with those calling for the NCAA/ACC to end Collins season. Let him come in street clothes for senior night, but otherwise the coach should distance him from the team.

 

[superjohn]

He needs to be suspended. I wish there was more physical play like back in the day but this was just ridiculous and dangerous. Dude thought he was Steve Atwater out there. Can't think of a dirtier basketball play off the top of my head.

 

[aceboon]

Wouldn't have blamed a Duke player for clocking him, that was ridiculous

 

[HooperScooper]

No blood, no foul and I don’t see any blood. Play on… life is hard, be harder. That is all.

Never will I wish a bro a healthy season? Can anybody translate that for me. Is it like a backhanded comment?

Added punctuation

Never have been a dirty player, never will. I wish bro a healthy season

 

[WhereistheDove?]

You just don’t get to claim this was an accident after that. Leading with your shoulder and then walking away without showing any concern for the guy. There is a 0% chance this was an a accident.

 

[Dooooooomed]

Duke got Duke'd.

Remember when Rod Sellers became a folk hero for slamming Laettner’s head into the court?

Stuff happens. He didn’t try to kill anyone and he apologized on the court. He’s not going to be suspended for the rest of the season, much to the chagrin of our pearl clutchers. He’ll certainly get a game or two off and he deserves that, but that’s about the extent of it.

Plus, he did it to a Duke player.

 

[M.S.G.]

Wow, that apology / non apology was.. Interesting...

Sounds like a good line from a song.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

The ACC or the school has to take care of this so players on other teams don't take matters into their own hands. A lot of geezers are nostalgic for the 80's Pistons or the late 80's, early 90's Big East. Actually, the basketball was often terrible and barely and there were a lot of fights. The NCAA cracked down hard on the rugby-ball, and the game is a lot better as a result.

You do realize Rod Sellers wasn't remotely close to paralyzing Laettner right? This is a shockingly terrible comparison.

We like to get all excited about the play on here... but look at this. No one was actually in any danger. It was a shove... it literally probably left a nickel-sized red mark on Laettner...oh, the humanity!

Ridiculous comment. A joke made while playing street ball has no application in real life. I find this comment disgusting. You are not UConn. Change your handle.
