Two Duke Players Arrested for DWI

[rollskies]

Including Coach K’s grandson and future lottery pick Paolo Banchero. Why is it so hard for people to just call an Uber?!?!

Seems like no one was hurt, thank god.

Be interesting to see how K handles. Also never heard of an aiding DWI charge before.

 

[BGesus4]

Ouch. The coach K grandson angle is really going to make this story travel.

 

[wheelerdog]

I’m sure the NCAA will come down hard on Oklahoma State for this

With that headline you must work for deadspin or bleacher report.

How quickly will this get swept under the rug? especially by the media. But, In all seriousness, that’s probably the last thing Coach K wants to deal with during his final season.

Yup. I’m assuming it will get handled kind of like UConn handled the Bouknight situation. Probably suspended for a couple games and hopefully they can learn from it and move forward. They are incredibly lucky that no one was injured.

Next three games are against Gardner-Webb, Lafayette and Citadel. Then Gonzaga and Ohio State follow. Duke and K will show that they don't play games and immediately suspend the two for three games. The media will talk about how Duke is better than everyone by dealing so quickly.

Coach K's grandson was the one who ended their season last year because he got the covid case that knocked em out lol. This kid sounds like an absolute moron who knows he's untouchable because of who his grandfather is.

What do think they odds are than Banchero misses the Gonzaga game? 0-1%?

 

[karstenkibbe]

Don’t think K had court dates on the farewell tour, involving Banchero and the grandson. Hate to see it.

In case you haven't seen this great photo, here it is. I was tempted to post this in the Duke DUI thread...but took the high road.

"Have you heard Boeheim's recruiting pitch?"

 

[Kembacity]

I can’t imagine the rat-faced scowl grandson got for this. He will be chastised for not somehow getting Bancheros presence disappeared from the situation.

Banchero is the real deal. Honestly thought he could be in the running for NPOY

 

[UConnRock]

Was Grandson there to protect Banchero and be his driver. Gotta protect the star. It is part of being in the "Duke family". Amazes me that K's grandson is on scholarship. Isn't there someone else more deserving or in need of the scholarship money.

Obvious sarcasm here, but...

What is the typical suspension for being a passenger in a car where the driver is drunk? Zero games, zero mins.

You are acting like Duke should suspend him for longer than Bouknight was suspended for actually driving and the fleeing the scene.

Some of all just wanted to get worked up for no reason with being blind to the situation and failing to look in the mirror.

For getting in the car with someone who was drinking, 0%. Most any coach would suspend for that is 1 game, judge will throw out the charge.

The envelopes will be a little lighter for these two when distributed during the mid-early season alumni awards dinner.

Yes.

The article says aiding and abetting a DWI is charged to individuals who knowingly allow their vehicle to be operated by someone under the influence. That's different than simply getting in a car with a drunk driver.

The kid blew a .08% too. The cop must be a UNC fan
