He's just got his fourth foul, the TV cameras and the crowd are watching him to see if the coach sits him down for a couple of minutes, and he walks over to the ref and intentionally gives him a glancing blow with his elbow... This kid has got a great future outside of basketball, what with his clear and sensible thought process. I applaud the ACC for suspending him and beleive the punishment was correct. Maybe this thug image will slow down just a tad... (probably not)...

I think 10 games would have been appropriate.
