Honestly, I don't GAS what Payne's prerogative was in the game or this morning when he called Fulk. The fact that it happened and Fulk went through the trouble to post the tweet should be enough for everyone. I think a lot of people are missing the point of his words in showing grace.Got that half right.
I agree. However, I would not be as concerned about the issue if only one elbo had been thrown in less than 2 seconds. There is no question that there was definite intent to hard Fullerton. The first ” punch” was aimed at the neck and when that did not take Fullerton down, he aimed the second one at the face. We will be able to determine if coach White is worthy of remaining a collegiate head basket coach by the manner in which be handles this situation. Is he man enough to discipline the player for his disgraceful actions, or will he just condone the player’s actions. White is at a crossroads which will determine how he will be evaluated, not only as a coach, but also as a descent person.John Fulkerson is a better person than I am regarding the situation. All class, true VOL. #winforFulky
Goons are nothing new.I hope Fulk gets better soon and his concussion wasn’t as bad as it looked.
I agree with others, Flagrant 2s need a worse penalty somehow. Like opposing coach chooses a player on your team to remove for the rest of the game or player is out for the rest of the year or something like that if you commit one (similar for extreme targeting examples). Currently, there’s an incentive to intentionally throw elbows from your scrubs to take a guy out of the game
Maybe I’m cynical, but I think the SEC has to issue some form of suspension or they are exposing themselves to future litigation if someone gets seriously injured in the future and they took no action on this obvious international act. The Florida folks know this are had Payne do something to indicate remorse hoping to lesson the punishment. JMOMad respect for both Payne and Fulk.
