No Geno tonight

[Martin]

Sorry, for all my long life we have used the phrase "not feeling well," and the term "unwell" was never even thought of. Is this a new term or is it a CT term?

Reminds me when Roger Clemens said Andy Petitte mis-remembered. Lol.

The word has been around for about five centuries. In my experience, more common in written than spoken English…
Perhaps a little less formal than indisposed, and less colloquial than sickly.

“unwell (adj.)​

mid-15c., "somewhat ill," from un- (1) "not" + well (adj.). Similar formation in North Frisian unwel, German unwohl.”

feeling poorly.
feeling under the weather.
feeling debilitated.
feeling liverish.
feeling not up to snuff.
feeling the worse for wear.
feeling run down.
feeling green about the gills.
feeling clammy.
and my personal choice,
feeling out of sorts.
some folks that i know do say 'feeling unwell,'
but many today simply say 'feeling crappy.' not me, even tho 'craps' is one of those naturally funny words.

Is that the Latin term for the bad ass award?

I think you are getting your years and your rears mixed up!

It will be interesting to see if Chris uses the bench more that Geno does.

Not really. As it turned out, she stood most of the game.

Sending along best wishes to Geno. Be/Feel/Get better!

 

[HopJim]

Best of luck to Geno. Since coming back, he has looked and sounded terrible. Suspect with all the new Covid and flu strains, its one of the two. Both have an increased % of patients reporting longer term and/or recurring issues.

I have a number of friends who have recurring issues (exceeding fatigue by dinner, headaches, even muscle tightness). Ugh. Best of luck to those suffering from such occurrences and hope Geno finds the right path forward, health-wise.

Maybe a trivial question......................

When a coach misses a game like last night (or Calhoun did several times) does the Head Coach get a win credited to his record?

Thanks

Yes. Head coach gets the win while out on temporary illness. Only if taking a leave of absence (like Tara VanDerveer did in 96 to coach the women's Olympic team) is the head coach not formally not credited with the win.

Better than a dirt nap, eternal sleep, six feet under, worm feast

How many total wins does Geno have as of now?

 

[Monte]

When will Paige be allowed to coach?

As Mr Marvell said, "The grave's a fine and private place, but none, I think, do there embrace."

That is one of the main reasons why they changed the National team selection and practices, so the college coaches don't have to take a year off from coaching.

I'm late to the party, been completely out of it.
Trying (ultimately successfully) to drive I-80 from the East Coast to Salt Lake City
Big mistake at 83....and I-80 through Wyoming is closed as much as its open...
and we hit a bad patch in Cheyenne.

But reading the weekly casualty list is genuinely alarming...Forget about basketball.

There will be a point at which Caroline's susceptibility to concussions will make it impossible for her to continue...and I imagine she is getting perilously close to that point right now.

And Geno's not surprising inability to shrug off this season's nasty bugs is another big worry. I've got a few on him, but he's not a kid anymore and he puts huge amounts of pressure on himself...Not great for one's well-being.

We've had injuries and limited rosters before and made it through, but this season feels different and very worrisome.

Thanks for the info

Good points. My daughter is an ER nurse and reports that many don't understand that the current strains of covid and flu often have lingering issues lasting 3-6 months or more.

It's horrible stuff. I've known a young mother since she's been 10. Along the way, she became a solid D-III cross country runner and one heck of a beach volleyball player. She caught what she considered a mild case...initially. Then it just sapped all the energy out of her legs, causing her to curtail walking, let alone running. Then, the vertigo started and affected her ability to concentrate on a screen. She had to take medical leave of absence. Like you said, all told she lost 6-8 months of her "normal" health.
