Any thoughts on this? FSU assistant says no shove, it was his fault for not getting out of the way. I watched multiple times, I think he's being a very good sport. Could have really made poop out of this for Allen.

I think I have to go along with the coach. Grayson did put his arms out but so would I. I see now way in the world short of him having a very serious mental problem that he would have done this.

not a big deal - he goes all out all the time - Duke wouldn't have won the National Championship without his all out hustle - He is the most scrutinized player in college basketball and that will not change - none of the previous trips were malicious (I'm not saying they didn't happen or didn't require action) but today all 3 ESPN 4:30-6:00 shows brought this up as a segment - He didn't drive a defenseless player into the backboard support or trip a player going full speed nor did he kick an opponent in the groin like the Oregon player did last week - and how many times have you seen his actions replayed on every show? --

The previous trips were absolutely intentional. I don't think this was, though. Happened so fast, I'm guessing he was just trying to avoid colliding with the guy or something.

The kid's got a bad reputation so anything that happens will come up and be thrown in with that baggage. My wife preaches constantly to my teenage son about this very phenomenon...ya gotta keep a clean rep.
