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

Never have been a dirty player, never will. Clemson is a couple (dozen) rungs above USF academically, so here’s hoping the kid can pick up basic punctuation before graduating. Unfortunately, signs point to “No”…

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.

It’s 2022. No one’s taking matters into their own hands.

Totally different set of circumstances.
  1. It was Laettner.
  2. Laettner had previously stopped on Sellers chest.
  3. He didn’t slam his head to the ground. He just gave me a little taste of forearm. There was virtually no risk of serious injury from it.
  4. This kid look like he was a safety taking out a wide receiver mid air. There was significant risk of injury.
  5. It was Laettner.

CL82 is Christian Laettner confirmed?

Ha ha, if I am I’m surprisingly magnanimous about that incident. Actually, now that I think about it I’ve actually heard Laettner talk about it and he is surprisingly magnanimous.

Yeah, I tried a bunch of different punctuation in there, but I just couldn’t figure that one out. It’s always obvious after you see it though, right?

And he lowered his shoulder. Seriously, I wish our football secondary hit that hard.

I can't say I've seen too many fouls like that. In any era or any level of basketball.
 
Those USF teams were brutes and the style of play was very concerning. It wasn’t quite basketball.
 
In this day and age, it probably would have been a flag in the NFL for hitting a defenseless receiver.

For those comparing it to Sellers/Laettner, there was no chance of CL never walking again after the Sellers forearm. But it is the NCAA, and they will probably wait until the tragic day that a guy is put into a wheelchair or worse. I understand this type of play is very uncommon, but sooner or later a guy is going to come down wrong and some people will change their tune. I hope it's never in my lifetime, but guys take nasty falls even on clean plays at times or simply lose their grips on the rim.

It was weird because when I watched it, I thought of Carson Palmer talking about the NFL and how the day is coming when we are going to see an on field death in the NFL because of the way players are getting bigger, faster, and stronger.
 
Horrible play, but that being said I have seen many extremely dirty plays from Duke players over the years. Should be punished but don't want to hear it from Duke fans who defended Grayson Allen for 4 years

Grayson Allen and no other Duke player has ever done anything close to that in all my years of watching.

I love hard nosed basketball. That was an intentional undercut, shoulder first. Im happy that no one broke their neck on that. Just as happy for the kid throwing the shoulder. because that would be a lifelong regret.

This isnt the 70's with Jack Tatum hitting Daryl Stingley on a crossing route.
 
It was a really bad foul no question and he deserved to be thrown out of the game and was. He apologized right after it happened and I feel he feels bad about it. Thankful that the Duke player appears to be ok. His text/tweet is honest though he should check it before he sent it. I understand what he is trying to say and I think a majority of people do also but some are misreading and slaying him for that. I have to say that K’s reaction is a bit surprising when he always had Greyson’s back. Let’s move on
 
This type of occurrence was commonplace in the 80’s NBA. The world has gone soft.

Actually, it wasn’t, ever. The differences is that in the 80s there would’ve been a bench clearing brawl.

I pulled up YouTube videos of that yesterday, and couldn't internally justify posting any of them.

I've never seen a foul so blatant. Any era. Any level. Bill Lambier would object to that foul.

But you could be correct about the world going soft. This just isn't the hill to die on.
