Buddy suspended for Duke

[AZOrange]

In other words, Vegas thinks we have a better shot at winning than you have an idea what you’re talking about.

I mean I just don’t see how Duke doesn’t win by 25 plus. We lost by that a week ago with Buddy and Benny. Now we are down to 6 guys. There is nothing to see here

 

[AZOrange]

Agreed. But I’m with Bilas on this. Buddy shouldn’t be suspended. Should have been called in game by the refs. The ACC coming in after the fact isn’t right.

That’s silly. The guy threw a punch in a game.

Did you see my prediction?

 

[SWC75]

I guess JB has really mellowed out about punches since the days of Michael Graham.

JB was

- defending his son, which is understandable

- defending his player, which he has always done when someone else is criticizing them

- defending his team, making a case for why the decision should be to their benefit, which he has also always done. A coach is part defense attorney.

Still, Buddy acknowledged he was in the wrong and JB really needs to do the same, now that the decision is made.

I’m just going to assume that everyone saying Buddy shouldn’t have been suspended also didn’t think Howard should be suspended and/or fired. I mean, there’s no reason for anyone to go through that thread and compare notes, is there?

 

[SWC75]

They look better than Florida State did.

 

[Chalupa_24]

No. It isn't. It's sad. It's too bad. but, how would they justify not suspending him.

You honestly think buddy intentionally punched him?

 

[SWC75]

This reminds me of when Walt Sweeney creamed the Notre Dame kicker and holder in 1961 and the argument was about whether another play should have bene granted or whether the game ended on that play. That debate should not obscure the fact that there was an obvious violation.

 

[Chalupa_24]

Who asked this….?

 

[Chalupa_24]

And this?

Coleman, Seikaly and Brower going ham on Cornell…those are “throwing” punches. So much pearl clutching in this thread. Yes, he should have gotten a flagrant foul in game and probably been ejected. But the refs failed to call it or review the play afterwards. You disagree with Bilas? He thinks Buddy shouldn’t be suspended, and neither do I. ESPN playing that clip over and over and Greenberg and Ellis immediately advocating for a suspension made this a thing.

That’s silly. The guy threw a punch in a game.

Yes that’s silly. Clips from 35 years ago are
Meaningless. Totally different game now

Buddy does.

"“In the heat of today’s game, after some shoving in the lane, I swung my arm while turning to go back up the court,” Boeheim said in a statement released after the game. “It was wrong to act out in frustration. I apologized to Wyatt Wilkes multiple times in the handshake line. He said not to worry about it, but I know it was wrong. I pride myself in respecting the game and our opponent. I will not react that way again.”

 

[Sherman20]

A comical end to a comical season

Nothing funny about it.

Do you disagree with Bilas’s take? Just wondering.

1000000000%. It’s absurd

Comically sad. It needs to end. We need new blood

“I swung my arm while turning to go back up the court”. Didn’t JG3 just knock down a 3? Couldn’t have been going to celebrate and swinging his arm around? Trying to view every angle.

 

[Chalupa_24]

You honestly think he didn’t?

Nobody will ever know the truth. Why has just about every single person out there said it wasn’t a legit punch rather they were apart of the game or a outsider looking in?

Um Buddy admitted it was out of frustration. You don’t celebrate out of frustration

This has nothing to do with the head coach and whether or not he should retire.

 

[Chalupa_24]

Admitted to punching him?

Anyone with their eyes open knows the truth.
