The main comparisons between Grayson Allen and Dillon Brooks are they were preseason All-Americans who aren’t headed on that trajectory at the moment.  There’s no consensus on whether or not Brooks actually kicked the WSU player intentionally.  As for Coach Altman and Coach K, there are very few similarities.  Coach K ripped the media right after the game before ever seeing video of Allen’s 3rd transgression.  Coach Altman properly said he didn’t get a good look at it, and left it at that.  Your point that Brooks will be in hot water if this happens again goes without saying.  Also, how do you write this column from Eugene and not find a way to work in Oregon’s Waverly Austin intentionally punching a Cougar player in the groin (also at WSU) and OSU’s Jarmal Reid intentionally tripping an official at Utah.  They weren’t preseason All Americans, but similar incidents that happened in our front and backyard in the past few years.  Both ended their college years as one time offenders.
