Lou Still Has A Back Issue

[HopJim]

The problem with not playing her is she will not be in game shape. She needs to play as much as she can because the longer she sit out the harder it is to get the stamina back. Heard Geno say the injury would not get worse if she plays and I do not believe he would risk her health even if it meant loss of a game. I say let her play as long as she is productive and not hurting.

Good reply. No right/wrong answer, but one of the risks of coming back from an injury is hurting another muscle group due to inactivity. Would suggest if as Geno says there is no risk of making the back worse, the primary focus should be on getting Lou back to game shape.

To be fair I don't think Lou has to be 100% against Towson to help both the team and her get back into game shape. However, each game after, 100%, or close to it will be needed.

I hope these are good for your back, and your shooting and passing View attachment 41197

I'm told those only work if you have them delivered to the correct address. You do have my correct address right?

just quoting this guy who said that very thing about all athletes to my daughter recently......if you disagree give him a call

IF, I gave him a call it would be more on the order of be careful what you say to people. There on some out there that will take anything you say and misapply it where it doesn't belong.

On the other hand, I've known doctors who didn't have clue either.

FYI, Arica Carter is sitting out the Louisville first round game against Robert Morris. She also sat out the ACC championship game against ND. She a big difference maker for Louisville who can make shot especially if Durr is struggling.

Katie Lou is the Kevin Love of women’s basketball. She’s an all star but frequently injured at the worst times.

No need to play her if she's not 100%. Give Liv and Mikayla even more time to acclimate with the starters. Bring her back when she's completely healed. We shouldn't need her the first weekend.

Of course the coaches and trainers know best, but UCONN fans in general are worry warts so...

You'll recall that when Lou got her one NC ring, she was sitting on the bench unable to play. I don't think she wants to miss a single moment of this tournament. If she can participate, she will. It's too difficult to imagine that she'd be foreclosed the opportunity to shine in a play-off again. Really, too sad.

"she has only so many minutes in that back "

The rest of us haven't heard any time limits on her back.

Thank you very much. I just cannot deal with that guy! Better for me to withdraw from the field!

Better to practice patience and discretion than ignore. I never ignore anything. What one does not know can indeed hurt them.

Yea..... for Louisville. Not sure that's a program UCONN would want to emulate. That was kinda my point. Thanks for amplifying.

What kind of injury did she have and was she given a clean bill of health? Do you think it's fair to compare and criticize Louisville when you don't know her condition or compare two different players who may have different injuries? BTW, how did Louisville make out in that game with out her today? Perhaps a couple extra days of rest will be the difference between her playing and not playing in the rest of the season...........

Q: What kind of injury did she have and was she given a clean bill of health?
A: There this thing (law?) called HIPAA that would prevent me from knowing this and even if I did..... maybe your doctor friend can hip you to that.
Q: Do you think it's fair to compare and criticize Louisville when you don't know her condition or compare two different players who may have different injuries?
A: I never feel the need to be fair when I'm criticizing Louisville. In this case though I was not criticizing Louisville nor was I comparing the players injuries. What I was actually feeding your obsession to bend UCONN WBB towards considering things that other programs would do and UCONN would not, such as resting a perfectly healthy player.

I am neither related to you nor responsible for you, so any exasperation experienced in dealing with you does not fall on me. TGFSF But thanks so much for caring!

 

[Charliebball]

I'm perfectly familiar with medical privacy laws but just as we know that KLS was suffering from back spasms I would assume that Carter's injury is public knowledge...............but you don't know if she is currently injured or not so how could you possibly know if it's Louisville's "policy" to rest healthy players? Luckily I'm not weighed down by hatred for so many other programs like you seem to be so I'm hardly fazed or insulted by your comments here...................glad to see you are back to your old tricks......................

What truth???? That you're clueless when it comes to KLS' back???
