ACC reprimands Doherty, Collins, Buckner for shoving match|

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — The Atlantic Coast Conference reprimanded North Carolina coach Matt Doherty, Duke assistant Chris Collins and Blue Devils player Andre Buckner on Tuesday for their part in an on-court shoving match.
‘‘While emotions can be at a high level during this time of the season, this kind of behavior is both regrettable and unacceptable,’’ ACC commissioner John Swofford said.
With the scored tied 63-63 with 8:17 to play Sunday, Doherty and Collins began jawing at each other after play was stopped due to an injury to Tar Heels point guard Raymond Felton. Doherty, who walked onto the court to check on Felton, and Collins were standing chest to chest when reserve Buckner came off the bench and shoved Doherty.
Doherty went back at Buckner, and both teams began pushing and shoving as officials tried to restore order. The Tar Heels went on to upset the visiting Blue Devils 82-79.
Duke athletic director Joe Alleva and North Carolina counterpart Dick Baddour issued a joint statement Tuesday, saying the shoving match was one ‘‘we all regret.’’
‘‘Our two institutions and the Atlantic Coast Conference hold themselves to a high standard, and the incident that occurred Sunday fell short of those standards,’’ the statement said. ‘‘The ACC is the finest conference in the country, and our goal is to represent it in a first-class manner.’’

 

how many rams clubbers and ed foundation members were wishing doherty had thrown a punch?

 

I wish he had punched little Chrissie Collins' pimply face in.

He would have had mine and many other tar heel fans undying devotion forever if he had done that.

 

and if collins had ducked, wojokowski would have been right there.

 

SWEET!

 

Doh would have been torn apart. Matt Christensen would have come out of the stands and kicked bird man's butt all over Chapel Hole.

You whiney bitches is goin' down!

 

Well we had Rasheed Wallace in the stands sitting there thinking "I HOPE Matt Christiansen makes a move..."

 

Oh yeah? Well, we had Eric "not so" Meek just waiting to fall on 'Sheed, had he even moved.

AND, we had Vince Carter's mama there - and you know how that would have turned out...

 

Oh yeah well we had Eric Montross running really slow to the court and because of that Meek couldn't get aroung him and get to the floor before the game was over... much less before the fight finished... and we ALL know how slow Montross was

 

First off, we all know that Rasheed can't really think. And all that was on his mind was that he left his spliff in the ashtray of his Navigator in the parking lot.
