Duke’s Grayson Allen has had more than his share of controversial plays during his career, most notably earlier this season when he was suspended after intentionally tripping an opponent then throwing an epic tantrum about it on the bench. Just this weekend, in his second game back from that suspension, he had another curious leg-flailing moment.
And on Tuesday night, Allen raised eyebrows again by appearing to shove a Florida State coach:

Clearly the contact was initiated by Allen’s momentum as he chased a loose ball into the FSU bench, but the shove that sent the coach to the ground seemed pretty unnecessary.
Duke did not comment on the incident after the game, which the Blue Devils lost 88-79 to the No. 9 Seminoles.
UPDATE: On Wednesday morning, the coach who was involved tweeted this:
