Anthony on Gilbert

If the article is accurate almost feel like it could have a negative effect in Gilbert that we blew out temple without him on the floor

Your understanding of HIPPA law is so wildly incorrect that I think you should strongly consider a refresher course. Seriously. I’m a clinician myself and it’s just cringeworthy that HIPPA was even mentioned at all after reading this article.

I know HIPAA applies to medical.professionals - my point being where did he get his info? Couldn't be from a medical professional and I would hope it wasn't a university employee which leaves 2 options - it is all speculation which is irresponsible or the info came from Gilbert in which case it's all good.

Yup. Talk about twisting the knife. Feel so bad for the kid. He’s having such a rough year with everything and he busts his ass on the court more than anyone besides vital. God things have to go right eventually. Add the whole kobe/daughter thing into the mix and it’s been one hell of a depressing start to the new year. We re rooting for u AG!! Bounce back!!!

What a pleasant read this thread was

Excuse me? If I am a actually a woman?

Oh boy.

Journalists have an incentive to keep the program and players happy.

Some guy missed that memo.

The story can not end like this. He needs to come back and give us 10 solid minutes per game and be a good teammate. He can’t walk away because he lost his starting position. Can’t end this way.

This isn’t the end of his story. He doesn’t need to do anything except get right for himself. I don’t think there is a player on the team who believes he has not been a good teammate, and I don’t think he walked away because he lost his starting position.

It’s rude to assume someone’s gender.

And Gaffney has played 35 fewer games than AG, yet he takes care of the ball a lot better and actually tries run an offense and play team ball.

What is your point? It doesnt matter how many games youve played. Its how you play. Duh

Duh really? Gaffney played against a real crappy team and was 2-10 from the field, was 5 and 2 with assists and TOs vs a team that barely guarded anyone. AG would've been killed for that, It's hilarious to read he gave the ball where Carlton needed to score LOL when he gave him the ball the same place AG and Vital have the last few games when he came up ZERO. The fact he scored 10 was good for us after 2 zeroes last 2 games... if he scored 10 from the same passes and spots the last 2 games we may be 13-7. People need to calm down Temple was dreadful. I hope this is the beginning of the Gaffney era because it needs to be. I'm rooting for the kid he's a Husky after all but the haters are tough to take. But if last night made it clear to you we will be better without AG because Gaffney was "so good" then let's give it a couple more games vs Top 25 teams. DUH!

If she is actually a woman its not surprising shes this sensitive.

Losers always brand themselves

The duh is in reference to playing time. Kathy was pointing out gilberts games for as an excuse for his poor play. And I said gafney has played even less and peopl should play based on performance not who has played more games. Do you disagree?

The ball movment was night and day. Thats not even arguable.

Nowhere did I say Gaffney was amazing/ made no mistakes or shot it well. I said he takes care of the ball better (he does) and he looks to set his teamates up and get rid of the ball much quicker (he does).

Nowhere did I say “Last night made it clear to me we will be better without AG cuz Gaffney was “so good”.

I literally didnt say or hint at a single thing you are claiming. If you are going to come at (and mock) somebody at least try to understand and represent their argument correctly and get rid of that Boneyard strawman special.

We still would have blown the doors off Temple last night with Alterique playing. He’s a solid player, he’s just been really bad in the last 3 minutes or so. I feel he’s correctable or at least, he could be pulled when the wheels fall off. This team needs him.

I enjoyed the article but man did this thread go off the rails awhile ago.

No matter what happens, I wish Rique well no matter what he does after his time at UConn. I hope he graduates from UConn in the spring and gets his diploma

Your premise is still wrong. None of the info he reported is protected under HIPAA.

 

[uconnfan68]

So are we supposed to keep him around for seven years so that he can have 3 years of experience and act like a normal senior? I'm confused about what kind of argument you're trying to make.

That’s not legal at UConn. Maybe at Pitt, Cinci, WVU.

It’s comforting to know that regardless of how dumb and misguided some of my posts have been someone here is always willing to say “you think that’s bad watch this”

 

[krinklecut]

On a website where literally every user has more likes than messages, you have significantly fewer. Huh.

 

[Leebo]

Did anyone who brought up HIPAA mention what they thought would have even applied to it?

 

[UconnU]

The decision to start Gaffney over Gilbert was a metaphorical changing of the guard from the Ollie era to the Hurley era for Uconn basketball. Seeing as now our PG and the majority of our starters are Hurley kids. Gaffney now has the keys as we saw with him leading the team in minutes last game.
