Objectively I think the statistics would say no. I would argue you get x number of foot injuries per so many minutes. Who is playing those minutes is not significant since for a 40 minute game there are only 5 players on the court at a time for a total of 200 player minutes spread over x number of players. And that would only apply to game injuries. From what I've observed as a fan, just about all "stress reactions" (and I think most all injuries) arise from practice activities and not from game play.
Agreed. These kids spend many more hours and take a lot more pounding in practice. How many times have the kids said practice is tougher than the games?

I agree with this although the stats-based approach needs to consider the variable minutes played per foot and not the fixed minutes available in a game... Makes sense though that practice is where the wear accumulates.
 
I have never wanted personal information about the players. The games are broadcast and played in public. A lot of people get charged to see the games. Simple " ankle injury anticipated return tba" would suffice. Not really worth arguing over. Sorry.
They why are you not satisfied by the statement?

" A UConn spokesperson confirmed Juhász is listed as day-to-day for the upcoming week." Juhász was shown on the sideline during the game with a boot on her right foot."

I'm not. Are you that desperate for an argument?

Not as upset with Dorka's injury as others. She has made a positive impact this year and will be missed. On the other side, a lot of her playing time has been by her making less mistakes than the other bigs and we have experienced subs. We will need a very physical presence in the playoffs - not necessarily Dorka's forte. Having a rested Dorka and a more diverse team for the NCAA's not all bad.
 
I'm not. Why so thirsty for information that is clearly none of your business?

To this day I still believe Nike Shox were partially responsible for my daughter's injury when she was in HS. It was the team sneaker so we went along with it. Before the end of the season we had 2 other teammates go down with knee injuries. We didn't make the connection until Vince Carter who had endorsed the shoe also wend down with and injury and complained.
I share that concern about Nike Shox, Coco, IMO it's the elevated heel of the shoe that prevents sufficient weight and impact distribution; a lot of people who know more than me about these things say that the shoe is biomechanically unsound and leads to knee and back complications... My niece had several players on her HS team who used Shox as their team shoe have knee problems...
 
Start Ono. We need to get off the right foot in this game. Edwards struggles to score and is prone to turnovers.
[/QUOTE
ONO is already a starter unless there is 2 of her. AE don’t get the ball enough to struggle to score and everyone on the team struggle to score except CD.
 
The Huskies are a collection of college players, not pros. Accepting a scholarship doesn’t mean giving up their right to privacy. Just because fans want to know about their private lives doesn’t make it our business.

Would you be OK with your employer or insurance company releasing details of your injuries or illnesses?
Because they generate a lot of revenue for their school, the UConn women's basketball team is, at the least, semi-pro. That's what NIL is about. Related injuries to athletes, to whom you're [indirectly] paying good money, deserves a modicum of transparency, eh?

What are you going to do with the information…. bet on the other team? I can wait till game time to see who plays and who’s in a boot. Which leads me to wonder why no one on this team has an NIL with a boot and crutch company.

Curious here. If this is a known or proven issue with these shoes, why haven't any of the shoemakers been sued?

I'm no attorney but I think the burden of proving that the proximate cause of injury is directly related to the shoe, and nothing else., is considerably steep...

A " UCONN Spokesman" made an announcement/statement.

Foot injury...and she is day to day. See post #64

That's what they know. That should be sufficient.

I would expect several players to sit for a game or 2 once Bueckers gets back. Westbrook has been playing long minutes and her knee could use a break. I'd guess that Juhasz's injury didn't just appear at DePaul and has been with her for longer. Nagging injuries become a fact of life this time of year.
not sure about that...............bench rest isn't part of Geno's vocabulary.........;)

Previous post uses a very big stretch of the definition of "Semi-pro".

The only "compensation" players get from the University is their scholarship....just like an academic scholarship for an engineering (or other specialty) student... and no one would call them "Semi-pro Engineers." Nor would we expect to receive information on their personal business/illnesses/injuries.
UCONN has no involvement in NIL deals... especially when it comes to compensation of the FEW athletes that actually benefit.

There should be no expectation for the personal information/business of a particular Student and/or Student Athlete to be shared with the public. BUT, UCONN DID PUT OUT A STATEMENT... a UCONN Spokesperson stated that Dorka has a foot injury and her status is day-to-day. That is pretty specific and concise. It shares what they know now...i.e. foot injury, and that she could be back soon...or not ... i.e. day-to-day.

I doubt if Dorks plays for a while. It may even not be this year but hopefully we get her back before March.

If your medical situation affects what you do for your employer, I would say, "yes" .. a slippery slope, fore sure, eh?

UConn has games 2/2, 2/4, 2/6, 2/9, 2/11, 2/13. I'd say that the bench will play. But then with a schedule like that there isn't time for practice so maybe the players are looking forward to it as a break. :)

Geno's past actions lead me to believe that non injured starters play for three and a half quarters even against the Little Sisters of the Poor........:rolleyes:
