Just confirms why I hate Duke. Nothing but a bunch of whiners, thugs of all colors (white dudes seem to be the worst), and suffers of affluenza.

You might hate Duke, but coach K is a class act.

Why can’t they bench Allen Grayson too?

Is the Coach K who is a ‘class act’, the same individual who put Allen back into the game last after the tripping incident and Allen’s psychotic temper tantrum.

Class act or not, it probably took a phone call from his university administration or the ACC league offices to force Coach Kenny to take action before his star seriously injures an opposing player.

Does the NCAA test for steroids? Something is wrong with that kid.

It is his third tripping related incident in the past year.

While I have respect for Coach K and while I have no idea of the talents and abilities this tripper has; I’ll tell you this:

If you have game and can put up some numbers, you will be back in the game soon.

This is true on the collegiate level. This is true in pro sports. Doesn’t matter what kind of jerk you are - you will play if you can score.

I dont blame Coach K for this but note the difference in treatment between the Duke Lax team and this guy.

That description sums up most universities except it isn’t all white dudes at most. Biggest socialist strongholds in America everything is free to them and they have minimal sense of responsibility.

I tell you why I hate Duke. A particular High School in our town had 5 students apply for Early Decision (ED) admission class ranking 3, 5, 8. 29, 33. The accepted one and deferred all the rest. The one they accepted was the muslim.

His class has limits. Silence during the time of the University’s Duke lacrosse disgrace, and comments about HB2 show a tendency toward the dark side.

Uh no. K encourages this kind of behavior. Reference the Duke flop.

If he tries that in the NBA he’s gonna be real sorry. There’s some big boys up there.

You have to be eight points better than Duke to play even with them, because the refs will give them at least eight points worth of calls. Just watch a video of the disgraceful officiating in the 1992 Final Four game against Indiana in Minneapolis. Unbelievable.
