I'm guessing Flip is getting paid he can take some taunting. Hell for a long time you got heckled and not paid.

Agree with this, it’s almost as if he stuck his leg out further than normal to trip the fan.
Sometimes known as walking.
Which he could’ve stopped doing to let the kid go by….. I think ultimately they both have some blame in the situation.
Wonder what the ultimate diagnosis is for his ankle (was it ankle or knee or what?)?
Which is made clear from this shot from the end of the game. With time still on the clock there are Wake students running onto the court, with some nearly to the free throw line.
The Duke player has no time to try and get across the court to his bench. The fact that security couldn't keep students off the court till even the final horn shows the Wake administration was not prepared.
If security is able to buy 5 seconds, all the Duke players can get to their bench and this isn't an issue.
So he waits for everyone to go by or just that one kid? They were at the free throw line before time was even up, any players stuck on the court just wait until it's over?
Or the student could have not run at the player to try and get in his face?
The guy running by, filming for his next Tik Tok, had no clue what he was doing and what he would run into.
No - but he doesn’t need to take a step right at a kid that’s running if he sees a kid running somewhat at/in front of him does he? He’s looking at the direction of the kid the entire time. Again, I don’t think it’s one parties fault (and agree with the points that have been made that WF should have done some better work at keeping them back).
Yes, of course the fan taunted Flip. Wouldn't you?
Decades of recruiting shenanigans and favoritism from the conference, NCAA, and the referees, and you get a chance to not only win but rub it in?
Oh yeah. I'm taunting.
Things don't happen in a vacuum.
Flip lost, couldn't take it, tried to trip the fan, hurt himself, and then cried like a p&ssy.
Guy's a *****.
Duke and Flip earned every single part of this, as did their crybaby coach.
Imagine sticking up for Duke or anyone associated with them.
I like the “he’s just walking” takes.
I’ve walked my entire life, almost, and have never stuck my leg out to trip someone while also trying to shove them. Must be unique…

If you are driving through an intersection with a green light, and someone coming from the left blows through the red but you saw them, it's now your fault they hit you because you should have stopped.
I don't see how the player is to blame. He is on the court, where he is supposed to be. The game ends and he makes his way towards his bench. He should be allowed to walk without expecting a random person to run through him.
