He is the Draymond Green of the college basketball. Why doesn't Green get duffed in the jaw??
December 22nd, 2016 at 11:14 AM ^
Duffed in the jaw or worse, like being significantly undercut and landing on his head, unless Coach K took action. When his suspension ends, he ought to be given one last chance and if it happens again, if Duke has any balls, he needs to be out of the program,
The kid needs to grow up or get out of college hoops.
December 22nd, 2016 at 12:01 PM ^
Remember "Celebrity Deathmatch" on MTV? We need it rebooted for a Draymond Green Grayson Allen match.
December 22nd, 2016 at 12:38 PM ^
Bunch of pussies in the league now for the most part. I would have loved to see Green do this shit to one of the Bad Boys, Trailblazers, Celtics, or 90's era Knicks and Pacers.
December 22nd, 2016 at 1:49 PM ^
Rick Mahorn would've killed him. Killed him dead.

Maybe he just has poor aim? You have no idea how much Draymond worked on his dong shots during college and once he got to the NBA. Don't be so quick to judge...
December 22nd, 2016 at 9:11 AM ^
December 22nd, 2016 at 9:16 AM ^
Sorry. I have a hard time giving Coach K credit for anything. He's been boxed in on this one. He didn't have a choice.
Fuck Coach K.
December 22nd, 2016 at 9:21 AM ^
it is somewhat of difficult balance. I think K can be kind of a punk but I don't think he teaches this. I think Allen has a rather significant issue with self-control. You want to give a kid every opportunity to succeed, particularly when he doesn't have any corresponding off the court issues, at least that we are aware of. I think he should be out 8-10 games and then be given ONE.LAST.CHANCE to not do this again and then he should be kicked off the team.
December 22nd, 2016 at 9:27 AM ^
No argument here. Coaches are in a tough spot. If they're too quick to punish kids, then the best kids won't want to come play for them.
That's why I'm surprised highly rated recruits still play for Izzo. He goes all Brian Kelly on them if they mess up and he doesn't really prepare them very well for the NBA either.
Back to the topic at hand - I knew the kid was going to sit a couple games with Jason Williams (from Duke) was on the post-game last night saying Coach K had to suspend this kid. That was when Reece Davis corrected him and said - Grayson isn't a kid. He's a junior. He's a young man.
My problem with Coach K, in this case, is he's been an enabler for this kind of behavior.
Although I like your projection, I think he'll probably give him 3-5 games, with a longer leash than you're describing.
December 22nd, 2016 at 9:45 AM ^
guess is that there will not be that much leash from from the ACC/NCAA at some point. It is a player safety issue, and if this kid cannot control himself to this degree than other players are at risk when he is the floor.
As for Coach K, I agree that this would be a good time for him to look himself in the mirror and decide what kind of coach/person he is. If he continues to allow Allen to do this with the least possible discipline imposed each time he is doing him a disservice. Dook is Dook, they got so much talent it is ridiculous. They would be fine, it is Allen who has the problem, and you are right, any further enabling would be inexplicable.
December 22nd, 2016 at 9:55 AM ^
Saw on a different board that Duke plays Louisville in 5 games.
I'm guessing this is a 4 game suspension.
If it does carry through the Louisville game, I'll give Coach K credit for using real discipline.
December 22nd, 2016 at 10:03 AM ^
it to Coach K to impose a 4 game-5 minute suspension. He enters after the first TV timeout against Louisville.
December 22nd, 2016 at 10:43 AM ^
Indefinite suspension by Pope Coach K I will be the 1st half against BC. In a group that includes Laettner, Hurley, Wojo and Redick, Allen is the biggest idiot of all. One of the ACC teams should insert a backup LB on the roster with the sole purpose of taking that whiny little DUKE PUKE out! Just like an NHL team calling up a goon from the IHL!

I'm not a basketball aficionado, but didn't Izzo put like 3 or 4 kids in the NBA in the last 2 years? And didn't Trey say basically the same thing about Michigan's program not preparing him for the NBA? Also, one of the best players in the NBA is from MSU, and I don't care if people hate Draymond because of his affinity for dong related kicking, he IS one of the better players in the NBA. Not top 10, but certainly better than your run-of-the-mill role player.
December 22nd, 2016 at 9:53 AM ^
has coached for Michigan State for twenty years. His list of solid NBA contributors runs Mo Pete, J-Rich, Randolf, and Green. I guess i will give you Charlie Bell, barely.
That is not exactly churning out top level NBA players.
December 22nd, 2016 at 9:56 AM ^
Especially considering the level of recruits he's bringing in.
December 22nd, 2016 at 10:48 AM ^
Any productive floor-slappers in the league?
December 22nd, 2016 at 2:22 PM ^
Upvoted this. As a reminder, the OP references the original floor slappers.
December 22nd, 2016 at 11:21 AM ^
December 22nd, 2016 at 10:02 AM ^
I thought Trey's comments, when taken in the full context, were that he wasn't prepared for off the court life in the NBA. That there wasn't enough done for kids that were going to be living in an adult's world after only a year or two of college.
December 22nd, 2016 at 10:38 AM ^
played for the Suns and not the Warriors you would never hear about him
December 22nd, 2016 at 10:45 AM ^
was great last year when Mike Valenti was touting Draymond Green as Finals MVP. He then promptly got suspended for a nut kick and disappeared for the remainder of the series.
December 22nd, 2016 at 1:14 PM ^
series lead snatched away from the team that has the flailing ball kicker Green on it. I was neither for nor against the Warriors until Green landed there. Now, I just prefer they are not elite. Cannot stand Green
December 22nd, 2016 at 10:37 AM ^
backs when it comes to off court activity.

major asshole, and acts entitled like a little Napoleon. His habit of standing 2-4 feet on the court during active play without the refs challenging him at all is maddening. Love their struggles this year.
December 22nd, 2016 at 9:25 AM ^
Kid is a direct reflection of Coach K. You don't let this happen three times within a year and say what you did in last night's press conference.

The fact that Coach K put Allen back in the game says a lot. Kid should have sat at the end of the bench for the remainder of the game. Nice message, Coach!
December 22nd, 2016 at 9:33 AM ^
Yeah, it kind of made me feel like he's only suspending him now because of the pressure from media / talking heads saying he needs to sit.
If Coach K felt so strongly that the kid should be suspended, why not start against a team like Elon. Duke should be able to beat Elon using only the last 5 players on its bench.
It could just be that I think Coach K's a piece of shit and I'm wrong about his motives for suspending the kid. Lol.
December 22nd, 2016 at 9:39 AM ^
Just pick another McDonald's All-American off the bench, Coach! Not that hard.
December 22nd, 2016 at 9:47 AM ^
think there was a time when Coach K was a genuinely good all around person and a good teacher. However, I have never seen another Coach revered by the media to the degree he has been. He literally can do no wrong, and I think it has ended up having a very negative effect on him as a person and coach. He has become to worst kind of entitled, and I do think it is completely possible that some of that has worn off on his players. It is clear, based on his reaction, that Allen is not getting the proper perspective instilled in him right now.
December 22nd, 2016 at 10:08 AM ^
I remember when Dook got rolled by UNLV in the tournament. One of my favorite games ever and probably where K learned he would have to crawl around in the mud if he wanted championships.
December 22nd, 2016 at 11:25 AM ^
Besides 89, that 1990 Unlv ass blasting of Duke was simply the most beautiful 40 minutes of basketball I have ever seen. It was made even more complete with Bobby Hurley shitting his pants for most of the game.
