That should come with a season-long suspension, if not an outright dismissal. That was a straight up sucker punch and could have ended in serious disaster.
There is no room in sports for that kind of thing. I don't care how hard a guy is leaning on you or fouling you.

"Carpenter and Robinson had tangled while battling for position under the hoop, and as Robinson turned to head back down the court, Carpenter struck Robinson in the face. Robinson fell to the ground, clutching his face, and was attended to by staff.
Hooten, in his postgame news conference, said he had not had an opportunity to review the incident or what might have led to it. He apologized to Liberty coach Ritchie McKay for Carpenter's actions, saying they were "not acceptable."
"That's not the way that we're going to do things here at New Mexico State University," said Hooten, who is in his first year overseeing a program looking to turn the page from hazing accusations and a deadly shooting last season.
Hooten expressed shock at Carpenter's actions, calling him "a really good kid." But he added, "There's just no room, no room for that in the game, at all."
Awful, awful look. And I agree, at a minimum should be a season-long suspension.

I may take a contrarian view here...of course there needs to be punishment..you have to control your emotions...
BUT..as there are in most cases ..I want to see if there were any mitigating factors...
As Jordan Barcastle ..the chick from Tech found out from Griner...say the wrong thing and you'll ' F around and find out'.
Speaking of..how long was Griners suspension?

2 games IIRC. Tech game was next to the last regular season game. We lost to UT at home without her in the finale (I was sitting in the floor bleachers next to the BU bench and she was a couple of rows in front of us; I have a picture of her eating pizza during the Pizza Hut pizza time). I think she was also suspended for the 1st round of the Big12 tournament.Stefano DiMera said:

We lost to OU in the 2nd round, then both we and OU went on a run and made the FF.
iirc, at the end of that run is when she should have punched the Louisville coach. The Louisville players were just following his game plan.whitetrash said:2 games IIRC.

Rudy Tomjanivich says " remember Kermit Alexander."
Kermit Washington but good point...he almost killed Rudy T.
I googled it. It was 2 games. One game from the Big 12 mandatory for fighting and Mulkey and Ian tacked on another game.
Dismiss him from the team and expel from the school. It's time a message is sent to all athletes at all levels. If I did that in public, I would be thrown in jail, likely lose my job, etc. No different here except they get a chance to start over and hopefully make better decisions...
Or, install a cage near the court and pause the game and let them fight it out...

Brain glitch! Thanks for the correction.
I don't have the answer. Maybe this guy does.

Unless you had political connections. Many pols & rioters have yet to be punished.
However, point taken. I'm frustrated with the blatant injustice in America today.
