Duke suspends Allen indefinitely for tripping
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski has suspended Grayson Allen indefinitely after the guard intentionally tripped an Elon player -- his third tripping incident in the past year.
Myron Medcalf ESPN Staff Writer
Grayson Allen didn't seriously injure anyone. But he could have injured the three players he's tripped thus far. You go to a mall and trip a random patron, the next stop is jail and a civil suit if they're harmed. Duke has to send a message: this is completely unacceptable.
Myron Medcalf ESPN Staff Writer
Forget an indefinite suspension. Grayson Allen deserves three games minimum for this latest tripping incident. Would this even be a conversation if a player on a team led by Rick Pitino, Steve Alford, John Calipari or another polarizing coach had done this? Nope. Shouldn't be any different here.
