Buddy suspended for Duke

[XC Cuse]

The issue is who is behind symir?

The great Paddy!

Sy and Joe at the 1. Should finally get to see some Frank at 4. Well maybe

He hit Buddy’s hand with his stomach

A flagrant two foul also includes automatic ejection for the player that committed the foul.

so is there even a rule about a next-game suspension?

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Feel like if this was January he gets suspended.

But man, ACCT, ACC leading scorer, JB vs K for the last time, Brooklyn.

I gotta think the ACC wants him to play

This isn’t a grey area . It’s an explicit rule. You can’t punch people. It’s ejection and suspension. This isn’t the NHL where you serve 5 minutes and get back in there

 

[CousCuse]

The refs stopped play and reviewed it and didn't make a call. The ruling on the field stands.

Yeah the better argument, considering the rule, is “that was no punch, it was an inadvertent love tap when he swung around”.

JB probably shouldn’t have finished his observations by saying
“you can’t just let people push you around”

 

[Cuse_NYC]

Oh god, ESPN now showing video of Jim saying he saw the play twice and saying he didn’t think Buddy hit him. Cringe…

"It was inadvertent" - JB saying stuff.

 

[Alsacs]

I will say LaPhonso and Seth are trying to make the decision for the ACC.

 

[wiseman3]

10% chance he gets suspended. The "punch" was probably the weakest it could be to still be considered a punch. It not like he sucker punched him in the head. It will be forgotten about by halftime tomorrow if he plays.

Did they ever confirm that’s what they were looking at?

75% suspended. And I’m being kind.

He meant to punch him in the balls and accidentally hit him in the stomach .. in that respect totally inadvertent

 

[Cuse_NYC]

Believe it was a hook and hold, not the Buddy punch

 

[OrangeXtreme]

JB should have pulled a Dino and said "We'll have to review the film".

 

[NineOneSeven]

Did they ever confirm that’s what they were looking at?

Definitely not

yeah, I was cringing bad.

Jake is 100 percent right. It’s the use of inadvertent with the slo mo replay of a clear directed punch (and it was a punch, guys)...just doesn’t seem like this will end well for us

 

[Cuse_NYC]

Yeah, but JB made it sound like he saw the replay…

They need something to talk about regarding the game because it was such a blow out. Ellis had nothing besides “Florida state TRANSITION”

Nope

Flagrant two is defined as 'excessive' I just can't see the hit being considered 'excessive'. Hopefully it won't result in a suspension.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Nope

If they looked at that and didn’t at least call a flagrant 1.. then they should all be immediately reviewed of duty

 

[orangefog]

Has anyone asked Damien Woody his thoughts?

Is throwing an elbow as bad as throwing that punch? Guys should be suspended every game.
