Oh boy. When I was around 16, or heading into my senior year of high school, I was on an AAU squad that was pretty formidable. I was the 7th or 8th man, and our team was good enough to go to most of the national tournaments. I would only play like a quarter of the game unless it was a blowout, or not play at all if it…

I'm thinking of a possible "best case scenario" that protects each party involved (accuser, player, institution). Please understand that I realize if there was abuse that there is not a real "best case scenario".

I guess asking why they wouldn't go public isn't the main issue, and that was communicated poorly. From the victims eyes, you don't want to badger them into giving details or getting their names in the public, especially based on Duke's high visibility and fan base (see FSU football/Jameis Winston). What I found more…

I actually don't like Duke at all, and think Coach K is some combination of PR machine and psycho tyrant.

It's so shitty that something so harmful and serious has to have such a gray area of what merits an investigation or can be dismissed as rumors.

I guess my question was more so where do you determine what constitutes an allegation. It sounds like there's a gray area that at some point wasn't crossed until he recently got kicked off the team?

I'm confused as to what the University's and Team's ideal move would have been here. If there were no official reports filed, how could they take action?

So aggressive I love it

I hope RoFlo gets enough backlash where he's prompted to make a comment, then just doubles down and says she sucks.

Pretty interested to see how Irsay handles this.

I think the NBA ASG gets a little too much backlash than it deserves. It's literally a break for these guys from trying. It's actually a great background setting that you can check in on every so often when something exciting happens. If you tune in expecting the best players in the world to go hard at each other amid…

That one guy is in the show "Sirens" (which is just ok), but also is stereotyped has having a big dong and now I'm super intrigued. As a straight man. This sounded different in my head.

I wasn't putting myself in their shoes. I don't have children. I was just thinking if I was rear ended at the speed, alone in my mind, I would be pretty upset and not sure what I would do.

No not a parent. Wasn't necessarily putting myself in that specific situation, but I thought just throwing what those people did under the umbrella of road rage was a bit strange.

I'm not saying every person should hop out of their cars and start fights, I just don't consider it road rage when somebody slams into you and you get mad about it. Road rage in my mind is when you put others at risk with your actions behind the wheel due to your rage.

I was also thinking something similar. I can't imagine I'd react in a different emotion than rage in that situation.

I had a guy in an actual pickup game less than a week ago just bear hug me whenever I had the ball close to the hoop. When I eventually got pissed after like the 3rd time he responded he "didn't want to give up any layups". Cool, dude.

Those types of fouls are my nightmare when playing with people that I can tell don't really know what they're doing on a basketball court
