It's why I try to keep my punnery sharp

Da Sousa gets 12 game suspension according to ESPN. He would return for the final regular season game against Texas Tech

Yeah, I had guessed 10+ for De Sousa, 6 for Love, 2-3 for McCormack, and maybe one each for folks leaving the bench. Sounds like the conference gave folks the “the clock was at 0 so we thought the game was over” benefit of the doubt on bench clearing, and must decided that Gordon threw a punch (bumping him up to 3 games). So I agree that it feels about right.
Exactly. Looked bad, even horrible. But definitely not “criminal” as many of the pundits have cried. There is a huge difference between picking up a chair and swinging a chair, much less landing an actual blow. Now I guess if someone was hurt when he dropped it, there could be some negligence or something. Honestly McCormack stomping on a guy, if he did land a blow, is much worse. That was no Laettner love stomp, that was intent to hurt...

'When I got on the bus for my first road game at Duke, I saw that every player was carrying textbooks or laptops. I coached in the SEC for 25 years, and I had never seen that before, not even once.' - David Cutcliffe to Duke alumni in Washington, DC, June 2013
What kind of value do you place on the sheer terror factor of a 6’9” 245 lb. man grabbing a metal chair and raising it above his head in anger seemingly about to use it as a weapon of destruction on defenseless unprotected people wearing nothing put street clothes (or a basketball uniform)?
You don’t think that terrifying act in and of itself deserves more than a suspension from some basketball games? Those folks who were in the direct line of fire from what he was threatening to do could have been psychologically traumatized, not only in the moment, but long-term. He could have easily killed someone with that chair.
