Grayson Allen Trips People...Again...

[tzznandrew]

I apparently can't get the first of the two videos to embed.

Here's a link to both, followed by the most egregious:

 

[JimHurley]

Biggest DB in college basketball!!

 

[Hankster]

Scum. Plain and simple. Yet, has anything being done? Warning from the ref's? Now he is solidly known for that. Of course he needs to since Duke has a tough road to the finals. <rme>

I just caught up with this story, missed it over the weekend. This is completely egregious, and yes these trips were slightly more subtle than the previous ones, but how is he not literally 'flagged' for that and kicked out of the game? He should have the reputation with all of the refs for being a trip artist, and in essence choosing to defend with his feet rather than his hands, so to me there's no way he should have gotten away with either of these. From the looks of it neither was even called a personal foul... does anyone remember the specifics? We're either of the two trips on Makai called as personal fouls?

If I were the coach of the team playing them in the sweet 16, I would make sure those refs look out for this. I hope someone like a UNC fan takes the time to dig thru all of Duke's games over the season. I would bet that he's tripped people at least 3 other times that were just sneaky enough to go unnoticed.

We all understand though that if some lowly basketball player on a non-Duke team were to have tripped Grayson in the tourney... they'd probably be blackballed from basketball in America for the rest of their lives

Hopefully he goes in the draft this year....

 

[willie99]

someone needs to break his nose

 

[Northbound]

Where is a modern day Kermit Washington when you need him?

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

I hope he stays. He keeps Duke hatable.

Paging Rod Sellers ....

And Duke fans wonder why so many other college fans hate them. They are a good program; but, they always have that player who takes it to that extra, unnecessary step, which never gets calls because the refs in the ACC eat out of Coach K's hand.

Oregon's coach basically needs to pull aside the refs before the game along with Coach K and basically say - 'Listen, I want a good, hard-fought, clean game, win or lose. That's what my players expect. That's what they deserve. But, if Grayson keeps up with these shenanigans, like tripping players every time he gets beat and then not getting called for it, one of my players is going to lose it and we're going to have a hug mess on our hands. Do you want to be known as the refs who lost control of a NCAA tournament on national TV because you let stuff that has no place on a basketball court go? Give these kids and our fans what they deserve. Make the right calls.'

Nah,Duke is hatable, with or without Allen. They just seem to find these kind of hatable players.

I'd love to get a shot at him and leave a bad taste of UConn in his mouth before he goes.

 

[uconnell]

Hopefully what goes around comes around with Allen.

Best way to take care of this is to have a couple of big guys (the bigger the better) set some really hard picks on him (even if they are moving). Keep the elbows down, as you don't want to risk the flagrant 2. A hip check would be effective as well.

 

[willie99]

if the refs won't make the call, if Duke won't discipline him, then a player will take matters into his own hands in some fashion

if he does that in the NBA, somebody else getting suspended and Allen will be wearing a face mask

 

[superjohn]

Some Duke kids just have a certain look and might get unfairly judged. This kid deserves the hate, he is a punk.

And the ref will roll his eyes and say "Alright, bud. You got it Dana."

I wonder how his head dribbles on the floor?

 

[TXHuskyFan]

I guess that "strongly worded letter" from the ACC was not effective. I think they need to send another letter.

This time, with some italics. That'll send the message.

I'll tell you kid's a trip.
