Proactively Killing GRIII Punch Rumors
Here's pretty clear evidence that Glenn Robinson III did not intentionally punch Hulls, he was ripping his arm away form Watford. GRIII could not even see Hulls when he hit him.

Either way it was a pretty solid punch.
February 4th, 2013 at 1:50 PM ^
Awesome.
February 4th, 2013 at 1:51 PM ^
So between this and the Oladipo dunk (and the possibility of the B1G championship being at stake) that rematch at Crisler looks pretty juicy. Which is good, because normally the last game of the regular season is actually pretty irrelevant.
February 4th, 2013 at 2:27 PM ^
Sad that the biggest game in Michigan basketball in decades is over m'f'ing spring break.
February 4th, 2013 at 1:51 PM ^
But it's good to see that he "hit" something Saturday night!
February 4th, 2013 at 1:52 PM ^
oh snap
February 4th, 2013 at 1:51 PM ^
Hulls is gonna use that gif to prove he was once on the same court as GRIII.
February 4th, 2013 at 1:53 PM ^
February 4th, 2013 at 1:56 PM ^
GRIII is so lucky to have possibly touched those sideburns.
February 4th, 2013 at 1:56 PM ^
Water finds its level.
February 4th, 2013 at 1:57 PM ^
GRIII fist didn't land on Hulls, Hulls landed on GRIII's fist.
February 4th, 2013 at 1:58 PM ^
to use his left hand more.
February 4th, 2013 at 1:59 PM ^
February 4th, 2013 at 2:01 PM ^
I wasn't even aware this happened until I heard Dan Dakich claiming he "has to be suspended" on his radio show today. There were several IU fans emailing his show that Robinson had no idea Hulls was there. Dakich's response was "all good players know where everyone on the court is at all times, so either he punched him or he isn't a good player." Interesting logic...

If someone is going to be any kind of decent journalist, they have to show they can be impartial regardless of where their private-life loyalty lies. They also need to check out facts rather than always making assumptions from short video clips. He isn't going to get his chance in the big chair saying things like that.
February 4th, 2013 at 3:07 PM ^
He was also calling for Dawson's suspension for punching a Purdue player, Travis Carroll. I just think his radio show is all about controversy and ratings. He always rips on IU and Crean on the radio.
February 4th, 2013 at 5:09 PM ^
Dan Dakich is a tool. Having to listen to him do college games on ESPN is like having ear herpes IMO.
February 4th, 2013 at 2:01 PM ^
Hulls should get in trouble for running his face into GRIII's hand, I mean no wonder he didn't score. His hand had to be so sore the rest of the game.
February 4th, 2013 at 2:06 PM ^
with the rest of the trolls.
February 4th, 2013 at 2:07 PM ^
Per Bruce Lee himself, do not clintch your fist until the point of impact. WORD.
February 4th, 2013 at 3:09 PM ^
The bowl cut makes it look worse that it really was.
February 4th, 2013 at 2:14 PM ^
I certainly don't think it was intentional at all, but his fist still hit Hulls in the face. If they called the Manny Harris elbow on Kramer an intentional foul then this probably should have been a flagrant 1 and nothing else.
February 4th, 2013 at 2:35 PM ^
Incidental contact is not a foul. In no way is it a foul actually. The refs made the right decision and they even reviewed it.
February 4th, 2013 at 3:10 PM ^
above the shoulders ahould be an automatic flagrant 1. Not sure what the refs were looking at. Commentators seemed to think it was 2 or 3 call as well as looking at McGary's screen, and not the "punch." But they are usually just speculating on air.
February 4th, 2013 at 4:50 PM ^
February 4th, 2013 at 2:22 PM ^
I'm pretty sure that the refs stopped the game and looked at this. Nothing came of it, so theres that...
February 4th, 2013 at 2:33 PM ^
You would be correct in thinking so. The refs did in fact review this and deemed it an accident. If the refs at Assembly Hall think it's an accident, then that should prove it pretty strongly. They usually give IU the benefit of the doubt on every call. Not to say I thought the refs were bad in this game, I actually thought they were pretty darn good. But if they think so, then that is pretty obvious to me.
February 4th, 2013 at 2:42 PM ^
Meh.....should have rotated his hips and turned into the punch, Hulls would have not gotten up for a long time.
February 4th, 2013 at 2:54 PM ^
I wasn't thinking he should have hit him harder, but I was thinking if he had, Hulls would have been done for. I've seen him multiple times in person and Hulls is one tiny dude.
February 4th, 2013 at 2:59 PM ^
HULLS SMASH!!!
February 4th, 2013 at 3:14 PM ^
McGary seems to be having the time of his life playing tag with Zeller.
February 4th, 2013 at 3:22 PM ^
GLENN ROBINSON III PUNCHES KIDS! Lets get this meme going!
February 4th, 2013 at 3:29 PM ^
I believe the correct meme is "GLENN ROBINSON III PUNCHES HOBBITS!"
February 4th, 2013 at 3:33 PM ^
The only question here is who has the most punchable face in the league: Jordan Hulls, Aaron Craft, or Mike Bruesewitz?
February 4th, 2013 at 3:35 PM ^
Neither, Zeller. I swear he and Hulls remind me of Laettner and Bobby Hurley, the hatered I shared for them is now back and directed toward Zeller and Hulls.
February 4th, 2013 at 3:57 PM ^
Shame on me for forgetting Zeller. That asshat's face is more punchable than Rachel Ray's.
February 4th, 2013 at 5:26 PM ^
Ok. I'll ask. Rachel Ray??
February 4th, 2013 at 6:52 PM ^
February 4th, 2013 at 7:36 PM ^
Not only the voice, but the annoying fake smile, wide cheeks, stupid sayings, and over-the-top enthusiam.
February 4th, 2013 at 4:07 PM ^
He has already taken a few for the team.
February 4th, 2013 at 5:13 PM ^
February 4th, 2013 at 4:42 PM ^
Now that's how you throw a punch. Dawson can learn a thing or two from this clip.
February 4th, 2013 at 5:43 PM ^
February 4th, 2013 at 6:16 PM ^
At least he hit something.
February 4th, 2013 at 6:16 PM ^
Thad Matta catches one in his pie-hole tomorrow.
February 4th, 2013 at 7:25 PM ^
is mesmerizing in that gif. That looks like it hurt.
February 5th, 2013 at 1:04 AM ^
GR3 looks to have a future in the UFC If the NBA doesn't work out!
