Riddick the Rejector vs Rasheed Wallace
Riddick the Rejector had to be restrained before he choked down Rasheed Wallace in this Elite Eight game versus UNC back in 1995. When the score was 8-2 in UK’s favor, Riddick fouled Rasheed Wallace from behind during a UNC entry pass under the basket. Wallace bobbled the ball due to a double team collapse down low and after solidifying his hold on the ball, he sharply swung his left elbow which connected with Andre Riddick’s jaw.
Andre took exception to this and put his hands around Wallace’s throat before the 2 were separated.

After the whistle, UK coach Benedict Pitino is heard questioning the referees on the legitimacy of the foul. On the other hand, when the two coaches were called together at the scorers table the only word UNC coach Dean Smith could utter was, “Milk.”
Two technical fouls were issued. One to Rasheed Wallace for throwing the elbow and the other to Walter McCarty, who apparently looks indistinguishable from Andre Riddick to officials Tim Higgins, Tom Rucker, and Hank Nichols.
