Message: [QUOTE="superjohn, post: 4010027, member: 1522"] I don't think that's how it is with most high level sports at all, coaches want their players healthy limiting risk of future injury and at the college basketball level there's often a really close relationship between coach and player, sometimes a father son type relationship which Powell always said he had with Willard... The allegations in the filing document just don't line up and don't jive with the things Powell said to the press and on his own twitter during the season. Willard is known for being cautious playing his players, Powell convinced Willard he was ready to go for the Michigan State game... Powell was great after the injury and was first team all-American and Big East POY. He signed 10 day NBA contracts the season after Seton Hall and played great in the G League (no failed physicals or surgeries to my knowledge.) He just isn't the surefire NBA talent he thought he was. [/QUOTE]
