ACC just announced they would not be taking any action since there was nothing called in the game.

Somebody needs to call out the duke coaching staff. The media would be calling for Cal to step down as coach if this happened here.

His nickname should be the Karate Kid with all of the black belt leg maneuvers he has in his arsenal.

Grayson is certifiable psycho. Knowing what's on the line, he still can't behave. He's nuts!

Looks like it's going to take somebody busting that big nose or knocking some teeth out before anything is going to be done about it.

I don't like intentional flopping, but if some of these opposing players started hitting the deck and screaming bloody murder every time he attempted to kick someone, it would force the refs to review his actions, and the commentators, and conference officials to address it.
This is what I was thinking . I would go down in a heap , screaming , crying in agony . Lay there and refuse to get up until they brought a gurney out to remove me from the premise . I'd go to the hospital and stay days despite medical scans revealing nothing . Do recovery interviews with any and all media , family there with kids crying .

The video doesn't lie. I agree that it does look less flagrant than the LAST THREE but it should be argued that he should be walking a VERY fine line with puke and the ACC after the three previous incidents and recent suspension and ANYTHING that looks like a trip/kick should be dealt with by BOTH accordingly. A sane kid would keep his feet glued to the floor after his "punishment." This entitled brat doesn't get it.
I would rather he tripped me than kick me between the legs!

Dillon Brooks got a flagrant 2/ejection for something similar today. Albeit Brooks' looked intentional. ESPN guy saying it wasn't on purpose.

I actually think his could have been accidental. When your leg is pinned under you like that and you're pushing out to try and get it free, it will launch out. I think his is as explainable as Gracie's was. Not that I believe Gracie didn't do it on purpose.

I'm reasonably sure it's never a natural athletic reaction to completely extend one's leg and then stiffen it in the course of running, jumping, and cutting.

It certainly could've been accidental but since none of us know what his intent was all we have to go on is his past behavior. Guilty, IMO.

You're either blind or biased to think that was intentional.

There's something mentally wrong with him and he seriously needs help. Do the right thing and suspend him for the season

Brooks looked more unintentional as he was trying to release his leg that was caught underneath him.
Gayson just lefted his into the man's nut sack for no reason.
Kid is a psycho.

Really don't think it was intentional. But also think Allen has some kind of automatic reflex to kick his leg out in certain situations. Strange. Maybe all the drills K has them doing where they kick out the leg to draw the bogus fouls on 3 pointers has turned into an involuntary tic.

^This

When you "teach" kids to flop, jerk, and wildly contort their bodies every time a player get's near them, you're going to see some odd behavior reinforced. It's almost as if Allen has let these tactics drill into his psyche and now he trips, kicks, and flops habitually.

Do you mean you're blind to think he did it on purpose, as your post reads? Or, do you mean you're blind, if you don't think he did it on purpose(which is what I think you mean)?

Looked like it could be intentional. But may not have been

What really pisses me off is that "commentator" saying that he's scrutinized for being a hated dukie. No dummy, it's because he's intentionally done malicious acts numerous times and didn't get any repercussions because he's a dukie

Exactly, when you have the history that Allen does, everything is going to be viewed as intentional from now on.

Are people watching him now? Yes but, that does not mean that was not intentional. I don't think an objective person who did not know him would say it was by accident. That was just too obvious.
