During Duke's tough loss to North Carolina this past Saturday, other problems unfortunately went viral on social media.
When players make decisions that obviously shouldn't have been made, they're typically seen on social media instantly.
That was the case for the young man, Kimari Robinson, who pushed his trainer's hand out of the way after getting frustrated that she ran over him while his teammate, DaShawn Stone, was on his back and injured.
Many have gone after his character and said things that seem a bit much, but ultimately, Robinson put himself in this situation. Nobody else can take away from that other than that he shouldn't have done it, and even he admitted that.
The more promising part, however, is that Duke isn't letting this type of behavior go unnoticed. Speaking to reporters about the problem, head coach Manny Diaz said the behavior fell below the program's standards and that the program is handling it internally.
"The recent behavior of one of our players, Kimari Robinson, has fallen well below that standard," Diaz said, per Anna Snyder. "Kimari has apologized privately, he's apologized publicly, and that is now a matter that will be handled internally, and that's all I'm going to say about that for now."
"As I said, all those are being handled internally, and we're confident in our plan with that, and that's really all I'll say about that," Diaz said. "I think (the conversations) are private between he and I. And like I said, I think his apology, privately and publicly, you know, states where he was at."
For now, it remains uncertain whether Robinson will face any disciplinary action from Diaz and Duke.
However, he also released a statement himself, saying that Stone is like family to him and he just wanted to make sure that he was okay.
He understands that what he did was a problem and apologized to the staff member for not living up to the standards Duke has set.
"I was completely wrong, and she did not deserve that," he wrote as part of a post on X. "... The injured player on the ground, DaShawn Stone, is like family to me, and I was scared he might be seriously hurt. But being worried about him does not excuse how I treated her. I should have controlled my emotions, and I didn't.
