Chronic tripping thug thrown off Duke team... for now.

I think Coach K finally got the message his team is not very good, and has figured out one of his star players is why.

Duke's team has struggled fairly severely with a couple of far lesser opponents, even though they are the #5 team in the country.

But the three tripping incidents with star player Grayson Allen, including one last night, were far more than even the coach could accept.

Allen has been, at the least, suspended indefinitely.  The ACC accepted the team suspension.  It appears Allen will miss multiple games.  Coach K is using this as a "learning experience" and is not sure how long the suspension will be yet.

He should be thrown off the team and told to prepare for the NBA Draft.  It is clear that this is one of those players (not unlike one of the Golden State Warriors) whose "talent" also includes attempting to injure other players.

Allen is a senior and actually decided to stay at Duke against the advice of a number of NBA scouts.

It's now clear that, and his basketball career at large, are mistakes.
