This play during Thursday's Florida State-Wake Forest game is causing a lot of controversy in ACC circles:

That was Florida State sophomore forward Ryan Reid knocking Wake Forest sophomore center Chas McFarland to the ground in the first half. Reid was ejected for it, and I know there are some Wake Forest fans who thought he should have been suspended, too.

But I don't know. It looked like McFarland was trying to grab Reid with his right hand to slow him down, and that Reid was trying to get McFarland off him. That doesn't justify what Reid did, but it does explain it. And anyway, McFarland is a tough guy who had the last laugh, leading the Deacons to victory with his first career double-double while Reid sat in the locker room.
