With this being his third offense, Allen is gaining a reputation throughout college basketball as a dirty player. Since he plays for such a high-profile program, Twitter immediately reacted, with almost everyone calling for the junior to be suspended.
It started with some Duke on Duke crime, as former Blue Devils star Jay Williams weighs in with his idea of punishment.
Jay Williams just said on ESPN that Grayson Allen “should be suspended for five games.”

It appears even Duke fans want Allen to be banished to the bench for a period of time.
