While he obviously didn’t throw a right hook to the face, I think it’s safe to say that he still definitely threw a bunch.
In my opinion, that didn’t look like accidental contact at all. That looked like it was 100% done on purpose, and I’d love to hear someone argue the opposite side.

I’m all for physical play, but there’s no place in basketball to be throwing shots like that. None at all.
If you want to get that physical, sign up for the UFC and go as crazy as you want in the octagon. On the court, there’s the expectation you’re not going to cut loose.
Apparently, Buddy Boeheim never got that memo.
