Twitter was Furious That Duke’s Grayson Allen Tripped an Opposing Player Last Night (Again)
Duke junior guard Grayson Allen has a history of tripping his opponents. He’s already done it twice in the 2016 calendar year.
Wednesday night, it happened for a third time. In a game against Elon, Allen tripped opposing player Steven Santa Ana as he was driving down the lane.
As you can see in the video above, this was blatant — an intentional, flagrant, dirty play. Also in the video, you can see Allen throw a child-like temper tantrum after being hit with a technical foul.
Fans on Twitter were irate:
Grayson Allen is the result of a secret Duke Medical School experiment involving Christian Laettner & Tonya Harding. PROVE ME WRONG

Accountability. Grayson Allen must be suspended. Coach K should do it prior to he league. Make a statement.

Grayson Allen is the result of countless years of work by maniacal scientists attempting to create the most Duke Basketball Human

Grayson Allen the kid that gets a new car for his birthday and then cries because it isn’t the right color #baby

Grayson Allen really threw a tantrum on bench last night. Nowhere close to calling him Manziel-y, but uh, something appears to be a bit off

The most annoying thing about this Grayson Allen “situation” is that he keeps acting like a spoiled child. Grow up and play ball.

I will always be a Duke fan, but Grayson Allen is as unlikable as they come. Saw his tantrum in person. What a spoiled dirty player.

Even notorious Duke homer Dick Vitale called for Allen’s suspension. And when you’ve lost Dickie V…
Can’t understand the behavior of the multi talented Duke star Grayson Allen @theACC has no choice but must discipline / Enough Already
— Dick Vitale (@DickieV) December 22, 2016
I certainly agree with @ESPNDanaOneil his actions as Coach K has stated r UNACCEPTABLE! Suspension a MUST! https://t.co/c7t08FR8i8
— Dick Vitale (@DickieV) December 22, 2016
Dickie V’s call for a suspension was apparently heard by Coach Mike Krzyzewski. According to Sports Illustrated’s Seth Davis, Duke has just announced an indefinite suspension for Allen.
