Dillon, the whole situation with Olivia Miles smacks of having taken Notre Dames medical staff out of the equation. Coach Ivy speaks confidentiality, if not always accurately, about other players timetable with injuries. But the phrase "Liv and her doctors" is a refrain.
Go back to the game vs Louisville where she comes out in the 2nd half with an ice pack. No brace. No crutches. The announcers even mention the possibility of her returning to the game. Later they put a wrap on her leg. She's jumping up and down on it on the sidelines and in the locker room. That Monday Sean Stires says they didn't believe it was anything serious. By the ACC tournament she can barely walk and she has surgery weeks later. It reads like the initial diagnosis may have been wrong and she's taken things out the hands of the ND medical staff.
