Division III basketball player suspended indefinitely after brutal sucker punch

The Washington Post:

A Division III men’s basketball player was suspended indefinitely after throwing a sucker punch late in a game Tuesday night.

The cheap shot, from Fitchburg State’s Kewan Platt, came late in his team’s 84-75 loss to Nichols College. With less than three minutes remaining, 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.
