Buddy suspended for Duke

[UnknownOrange]

Easy call. Going to get suspended.

If they are going to suspend him they need to make a quick ruling and not find out 10 minutes before tip off. Hoping there is a quick ruling on it.

What happened? i missed the game for work

Buddy stabbed a guy with a trident, he’s gonna have to lay low for the next game.

 

[PhatOrange]

Gotta be suspended. He threw a closed fist jab, I don't see anyway around it.

 

[EnviroSciGuy]

Maybe it's my terrible internet connection at the moment, but I'm having trouble seeing it.

Love how we aren’t showing the initial shoulder thrown anymore

The shoulder throw isn’t a flagrant foul. If Buddy came down and shouldered him back, this isn’t a problem. He punched him.

That escalated quickly

Hope the ACC has same issue

Ehhhh...per the rule book it is. Flagrant 2

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

This. I agree the shoulder throw, imo, was more than just 'boxing out', but closed fist punch especially with Wilkes reaction to it isn't going to get overlooked when it comes to a penalty.

Oh I agree. We are screwed, but hate that they don’t show the shoulder

Sadly that was like 40 years ago.

 

[Cuse_NYC]

Welp, Symir with Joe isn’t the absolute worst.

 

[4evaOrange]

That escalated quickly

Escalates 60% of the time, all the time.

 

[Orangezoo]

The only thing that is in Buddy's favor is in four years he has not so much as a single technical or flagrant foul. These days that isn't much and isn't necessarily reasoning to do let him play but could factor in.

Hope the ACC has same issue

statement from the acc:

“we have tried to review the buddy boeheim punch but the internet connection is terrible at barclays center. jim boeheim said it was inadvertant, we trust jim and have no reason to believe he would have a biased opinion. buddy will not be suspended. “

I mean that really got out of hand

What a way to end your career!Poster boy for Mr nice guy loses his mind for a second.

The full-speed video is a little more damning. It wasn't just half-hearted chuck. He put some intent into it.

He'll just have to come back next year then.

 

[CardiacCuse]

since its duke...suspension % skyrockets

but i dont think he should be suspended, personally

problem is...how else do they punish him now?

 

[jdubs30]

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
