Cole in protocol

[huskiesNhoos]

Praying he is okay and good to go. I’m still annoyed that he was sitting on the floor bleeding holding his head and the ref ran right past him and didn’t stop the play. Usually when someone’s down like that they stop the clock but the refs left him there on the ground. Makes me angry. Hitting your head is good enough reason to blow a play dead.

Most soccer leagues will stop play at any sign of a potential head injury (blah blah blah field fairies I know...) Was surprised it hasnt become similar with bball where there's a million stoppages in play anyways

Usually if someone is slow to get up they won’t stop the play, but if someone looks actually hurt, they will stop it. But apparently sitting there in your own blood isn’t good enough reason. The ref ran right past him and didn’t even flinch. Pretty annoying.

Cole is a warrior and plays hard with 100% effort
If he didn't have a rocky start and was consistent as the 2nd part of the season, he would have been 1st team NBE

Yep. I think that Cole will be the clear team leader next season, which we'll need.

"Importantly, a game official is not expected to evaluate a student-athlete. Instead, if an official notices any unusual behavior, the official should stop play immediately and call an injury time-out so that an appropriate medical examination can be conducted. A simple guide to the official’s role is: “When in doubt, call an injury time-out.”

This is from the specific Concussions appendix to the rules.

update on cole... really hope he is good-to-go for maryland

 

[husky8273]

Did they change the format?? It’s usually Thur/Sat, Fri/Sun

yes

 

[Kitaman]

is the basketball protocol different than a football protocol? Basketball practically has no head contact.

I wonder how long it takes to get through protocol. He has 8 days to get through it if he's O.K.

 

[HeGotGame]

Of course they are.... Covid you know. Any idea if this was ever explained?

Yes. Was discussed a bunch

Moving back the play-in games till Thursday and the first round till Friday also allows the NCAA a bigger window to replace any qualifying teams that do not meet the testing protocols.

That would be a lot better news if his eye was the reason he didn’t get back in the game Friday.

No question Cole will be cleared to play on Saturday. He'll most likely clear step 5 by Thursday and engage in a full practice.

1. No Activity COMPLETE PHYSICAL & COGNITIVE REST Recovery
2. Exertion Step 1 Light aerobic exercise: walking, bike Increase heart rate
3. Exertion Step 2 Mode, duration and intensity‐dependent exercise based upon sport: i.e. interval bike Engage anaerobic metabolism
4. Exertion Step 3 Sport specific activity with no head impact Add Movement
5. Exertion Step 4 Limited, controlled return to non‐contact practice and resumption of progressive resistance training Exercise, Coordination, & Cognitive L
6. Exertion Step 5 Full sport participation in a practice Restore Athlete’s Confidence, Coaching Staff Assesses Functional Skill
7. Return To Play NORMAL GAME PLAY

The 5 exertion steps do not require 5 days to complete, though no more than 2 steps should be performed on the same day to allow for monitoring of both acute and delayed symptoms. If the exertion activities do not produce acute symptoms, the athlete may progress to the next step. The athlete may advance to step 5 and return to full participation the day after completing step 4 of the protocol if they remain asymptomatic. The amount of time spent in each level of the progression will be dependent upon the student‐athlete’s symptoms and the presence or absence of concussion modifiers, such as previous concussions, previous prolonged post concussive syndromes, ADD/ADHD, depression

IF (big if at this point) IF RJ is not good to go, I think Danny wants to/will start AJAX at the point:

AJAX
BOUK
Tyrese
Whaley
Sonogo


I think this would be an amazing lineup in terms of D and rebounding, obviously outside shooting would be a touch limited.

[jibsey]

Just a prediction but he'll play.

That is a real disaster Jackson at point. Good vision, handle suspect and can't shoot. Sorry but no.

Yeah not yet. Gaff would start at point.

 

[ClifSpliffy]

didja see ol broken arm james hugging ol broken head rj after our seed announcement?
they've got plans, and it don't contain doctor talk. more like 'get up and boogie' talk.

 

[kobebeanbryant]

Yeah not yet. Gaff would start at point.

that would be a complete disaster.

gaffney's minutes need to be extremely limited for us to have any chance in the tournament.

he doesn't run the offense in any meaningful way and has a shaky handle bringing the ball up the court. he will get eaten alive in the tournament.

So who then?

Danny has said that Jackson will be an NBA point - I know that it is future tense, but I think he is the next best option after Cole right now - and Gaff is one of my favorite players on the team but right now he is a bench player not capable of logging starter minutes. I just think Danny goes for it with that super athletic super strong line-up from the jump if Cole is actually out (which he won't be).

and yes Jackson and foul trouble will probably be a big issue if this happens. . .

His upside is huge but he can't shoot, brick city. We need someone to make shots and Gaffney has shown that.
