> [@Wilbo523](#): > > Baylor has already decided on the punishment. In addition to the NCAA required one game suspension, the school has also levied an additional game suspension on Griner. The Big XII conference has signed off on Mulkey’s addressing of the situation and is not considering any additional punishment. Needless to say Texas Tech fans are outraged by what they consider a very lax punishment. Yes, that’s the ‘official’ response but it won’t be all that Kim does to address the reasons behind why it happened in the first place. Her players have never been known for that kind of behavior before and I promise she’s pissed and will do whatever it takes to insure there’s no repeat. ---

Eh, it’s a sport, and tempers run high in sports. That was a pretty egregious foul by Barncastle to start with. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/britney-griner-punches-another-player-womens-basketball/531329.md?page=1)
