Wondering how it will handle his reputation as the league's dirtiest player. Who, other than him, has the Big Ten suspended for dirty play in recent years?

A shame he's such a schmuck as he seems to have really improved his jump shot this season, at least when I've seen him play.

I wouldn't spend one second watching any show about Brad Davison. I know a dirty player when I see it and he is hell bent on trying to injure his opponents. It happens every game he plays. I have heard Wisconsin people say he is a "nice guy". He is not a nice guy. He is a punk and I hope someone deals with his behavior before he leaves college.
 
Did you see Izzo last night stand up, turn and give it to a student who apparently was riding Davison?
Sometimes lines are crossed by both.

His flopping & falling down like a little bitch on D is more annoying. But I know for the most part college bball fans love charges so they see that as great D.

You are right; sticking a foot out so a player turns an ankle, going in for a layup with an elbow out to catch someone’s face, pinning an arm down on someone in better position for a rebound are all calculated.
 
I second Hooper56’s comment 100%. It is very fortunate players have not had serious injuries due to him.

Since you’re not going to watch the feature, you’ll have to take my word for it but coach Izzo clearly disagrees with your opinion.

It wouldn’t be the first time Izzo and intelligent Hawkeye fans disagreed on something.


 
Izzo also claimed Lickliter was a very good coach. I take any comment he makes with a large grain of salt.

And, if you think about, Izzo is the originator of modern day grab and hold defense. Of course he’s going to like the grab and squeeze bullshit Davison pulls(pun was probably intended)
One thing I noticed is that typically by the end of the game, Izzo will have 3 big men with 3 or more fouls. He wants fouls committed.

Considering what an ASShat Izzo is that would mean very little. I'm surprised Carlton as you've always come across as a pretty straight forward poster, and one of the few who visits who seems like a reasonable guy. Your actually saying that all this stuff, (by almost every opposing school) including video evidence showing him deliberately sticking out a leg to trip people and grabbing players by the BALLS, ( and we aint talking about Wilsons or Spaldings either) is all just some sort of made up crap about whom everyone considers the dirtiest player in memory in the BIG?
 
Davison is the dirtiest B1G player of all time. This, I am sure, is what the Journey will focus on.

Here are 13 examples of his "tactics" that go back the last 5 seasons. Note, that these are examples of WHEN HE GOT CAUGHT.

How Greg Gard or ANY Badger fan can defend this guy is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable.

Dumb ass Davison was hooking and holding, but said it was Kofi who was doing the hooking and holding.

Davison literally told the officials to check the monitors and review it, which they did. But note who ended up with the hook and hold foul and who ended up shooting FTs.

This hook and hold resulted in the player falling and a travel being called. And watch the clown celebrate afterwards.

10 minutes into the game and Brad Davison's feet tripped DeVante' Jones and his elbow happened to find Hunter Dickinson's ribs on a screen.

And another nut punch, too.

Izzo whines more than anyone and knows how to work officals. He's not someone I would really be screaming for to stand up for my player.

As others said, he said Iowa was stupid for firing Todd Lickliter. Who has failed at D3 Marian and was given the HC postion at Evansville once their coach was canned. He is not a good coach...

Davison is a dirty player. He's much too talented to do the dumb things he does.

Wow. I hope you will continue to repost this every time the Badgers, Davison and dirty play is discussed. This is horrible. He does a lot of stuff off the ball. He loves to hurl his body into a potential rebounder and act like he was fouled. No doubt this is something that is taught at Wisconsin and Davison is a master at it and rarely gets caught.

Exactly. He sort of reminds me of Iowa's Jeff Moe except that Jeff wasn't out to hurt and/or cheap shot opposing players.

If Davison was a baseball pitcher, he'd be the guy accidentally throwing at guys' heads and knees.

I hope if I missed any example, someone points it out and I will update that post.

Now that I think about it, aren't there a bunch of hook and hold examples, too?

And how Greg Gard defends any of this is ridiculous.

I did find this example and will update the above post.

IU's Galloway might be the next Davison in training.
He was called for 2 hook and hold flagrants last nite vs NW.

I added an 11th example.

My favorite was his crotch shot to Connor in last years game. He got caught, Iowa got free throws and it cost them the game. Gard defended him and Davison said he guessed he needed to learn how to get around screens differently.
 
A shame some BT player never got in his face like Bobby Hansen did with a Purdue player way back in the day.

Honestly, a player needs to jack him in the jaw to teach him a lesson.
 
I've also seen that little punk watch a player go up for a shot or a rebound and then slip his foot underneath them just about where they might land hoping to cause them to roll their ankles or worse. Don't know how the BTN can feature him without calling attention to his "issues." but I suppose they will.

This is post #39.

Scroll up to post #23 where I have examples of this and more.

Be sure to watch the videos, where applicable.

I am not a Davison apologist by any stretch and agree that the plays highlighted above crossed the line between tough-physical play and dirty play. With that being said, he does a lot in the community with kids and has gone on a couple trips abroad as well to do volunteer work. One does not offset the other, but people in here act like he is a menace to society.

I don't like his bs antics either, but the kid is a hell of a player and gets the most out of his abilities. Who is proving to be a better 6th year leader him or Jbo? Classic example of a player on a opposing team who everyone despises, but would love to have on their team.

The "dirtiest" player I ever played basketball against was a former women's player who will remain nameless. She was a really, really good player and nice person, but on the court (maybe due to playing pick up with guys), she would throw elbows at all 3 levels with no apologies. Great teammate to play with , but sucked to play against because you were going to eat some MMA elbows.
