Incident[edit]
According to the Washington Post,[1]
Saying he "got frustrated and lost control," a Division III men’s basketball player apologized Thursday for a sucker punch he threw at an opponent late in a game Tuesday night. Fitchburg State’s Kewan Platt was suspended indefinitely and barred from campus in the wake of his act.
Platt’s cheap shot occurred with less than three minutes to go in his team’s 84-75 loss to Nichols College, just after Nichols’s Nate Tenaglia made a three-pointer from the corner to give the Bison a 76-63 lead. As Tenaglia watched his shot go through the net, Platt ran toward him, appeared to glance at the referee (who had his back turned to the exchange) and then threw his entire forearm into Tenaglia’s face.
