Diaco citing the Constitution as to why he won't say why Bryan Paull's UConn career has ended was the most bizarre thing I've ever seen.

This is all that Andrew mentions afterwards:

He looked extremely, extremely uncomfortable. Diaco's a smart guy and any form "no comment" is easy enough. Absolutely bizarre.

Whaaattttt??? Losing Pruitt is huge. I wanna see the presser of Diaco's comments.

 

[LRock34]

Who said anything about Pruitt?

Upper body injury to Paull - Diaco said...no more there..#uconnfootball

OL Bryan Paull's UConn career over. Diaco will only say it's an "upper-body whatever." Says law prevents more specific disclosure of issue.

 

[LRock34]

Did he really say "upper-body whatever"? I wonder if Paull quit?

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Diaco's pressers are getting really strange.

Well it's not in the Constitution, but HIPAA does limit how much someone can disclose about another's medical condition without that person's expressed written consent. Just easier to say nothing.

Thanks - now I understand.

They determined it's a HIPAA violation to post newborn birth announcements in doctor's offices. It amazing we heard upper body.

You and Carl... What the heck is going on around here?!?!

I don't think "Upper body injury" or "Lower body injury" is specific enough. That's why they use that terminology.

What is going on with Schafenacker?

>>UConn seniors ending careers for health reasons
Sep. 15, 2014 2:15 PM EDT

STORRS, Conn. (AP) — Two more Connecticut players have ended their football careers because of health concerns. Their decisions were announced a week after starting quarterback Casey Cochran quit because of concussions.

The players are senior defensive end Angelo Pruitt and offensive lineman Bryan Paull, a little-used senior.

Coach Bob Diaco said Monday that Pruitt has a lower leg problem stemming from a genetic issue that caused him to miss the last two games. Paull has an undisclosed upper-body problem. He has not been with the team since the middle of training camp.

Diaco declined to elaborate on their conditions, citing federal privacy laws.

The school had described Cochran's injury as one to the upper body before his family revealed the concussion problem.<<

Yeah saw that too. What the heck does that mean? Saw that as odd.

 

[Carl Spackler]

Holy moly. A lot of big changes to the roster today...

I'm going with the look, that preseason is over.

 

[Skiblets]

Starting to question Diaco's assertion that he himself has never been concussed

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Paging Zach Rugg.

 

[uconnflyer88]

Yeah saw that too. What the heck does that mean? Saw that as odd.

Does this mean we get to redshirt him since he wasn't able to last year?

Hate to see a good football player like Angelo Pruitt and the others end their careers on the gridiron but, good to see that players nowadays are looking out for their future health and not trying to suck it up when dealing with serious medical problems. Your whole life means much more than a few years of college ball. Maybe Casey is still someone that the others hold in high regard off the field and figure if he can look out for his own health they can too. Good luck to all of them.
