Buddy suspended for Duke

[NineOneSeven]

Regardless, ive seen the clip a lot on social media by this point, which isn’t ideal.

 

[Alsacs]

It’s a closed fist.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

that happens in rec leagues every where I ever played.

Has buddy ever gotten in anyones face?

 

[dollarbill44]

I get it but used to Big East play...I mean come on Pearl and Ewing and benches cleared

"Used to Big East play"??? Maybe you should change your screen name to Rip van Winkle.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

if they guy doesnt react do we still call it a punch?

Yes.

Because it was a punch. Closed fist and everything.

 

[rrlbees]

Think you could make an argument for it being an excite fist pump

I also don’t necessarily think the FSU player “overreacted” he didn’t even go to the refs about it when it wasn’t called and FSU coach didn’t ask for it to be reviewed.

Buddy than talked to the kid after it.

I know ESPN is harping on it….but I think the ACC needs to use common sense here…

ESPN is always looking for stories like everyone has said here.

 

[storange]

There is not one person here who would say he shouldn't have been bounced either today or tomorrow if the player was on the opposing team.

The question is if your neutral watching the game. The FSU kid made a meal out of it. Should have been flagerant foul give FSU the free throws and move on. Kid must watch a lot of premier league. Keep calling it a punch, it was one candy ass punch. Forget it just give Buddy a yellow card.

 

[dasher]

Wow

 

[Shrmdougluvr]

lol some people acting like the FSU guy full on hit sticked Buddy. It’s a box out, and really not an overly outrageous one either.

That kid probably knows what an animal Buddy is on the boards.

Honestly, that might be the only time I've ever notice Buddy look unhappy on the court. He's certainly a very pleasant kid.

 

[rrlbees]

This thread hits 25 pages by tip off tomorrow.

How you feeling man?

 

[orangefog]

Whether Buddy gets suspended or not, it was stupid. I think the other guy was using his p0rn star acting skills with that reaction, but it was still a punch, so we are at the mercy of the ACC. Luckily, the ACC is always fair to Syracuse.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

I will take the over. It’s at 10 and the game is an hour old.

Kind of having fun here driving up the numbers. But ive got a meeting shortly

 

[Jake]

I would expect a ruling from the ACC at halftime of the Wake game. Maybe after it’s over, but before the night session.

 

[Cuse_NYC]

Wow

Can see why kid’s want to play for him

 

[SUFan44]

I guess the better question is, if he is suspended... is there an appeals process?

If so, can that appeal allow him to play at 12 p.m. tomorrow?

Would have to think there could be some sort of action taken by SU to make sure it gets caught up in some sort of litigation.

 

[rrlbees]

Because Duke suspended him first. I’ll try to find the article again.

I know they did. The one time of about a half dozen.

I'm wondering if the ACC would make an announcement if it wasn't a suspension.

I don't think so. I think the league will talk to buddy, Jim, review the tape and make a decision. They might talk to Hamilton (hope so after that video) and I guess it's possible they talk to Wilkes. I think Buddy will get a fair shake. If he is suspended, he deserves it. I just want the League to be consistent in how they dole out punishment. Up to this point, I don't believe they have been.

 

[UnderHisOwnPower]

Wow

respect

This goes against the karma we’ve gotten all season, but I’ll take it!

If that light hit was to the face or the nuts, suspend. Everything else is a "play on" regardless of the uniform the player is wearing.

 

[dasher]

Buddy is not suspended but the flagrant 2 is accessed before the Duke game and Duke gets the 2 shots and the ball to start the game.

 

[Syracuslove]

Are u saying this based on watching the game live or just the clip espn is now showing? When they first showed the exchange, it was a prett decent shoulder , and more than a normal box out, by Wilkes.

Both, but I was looking at clips on Twitter that showed more of the initial shoulder. Wasn’t anything dirty at all. If anything, it’s just a player knowing he was stronger than Buddy and could get position on him. Also I bet partly a senior move trying to get under our star’s skin, which it clearly did.

 

[miamicuse]

How about suspend buddy for next season for five games instead?
