Polley Tears ACL

Kathy said:
Head bang Amazing to me - kid gets major injury, is facing surgery and long recovery and who knows how this will impact his future playing days, his dreams and half of you only worry about how this affects the team.

You always come on here and pretend to be morally superior to the rest of the boneyard. People can see right through that. Makes me wonder what you’re motive is, then I realize i don’t care

No motive - I am who I am if it bothers you put me on ignore. Don't claim to be morally superior just viewing through a different lens. Kids more important than team - always been that way.
 
Premium WTF. Borderline Voodoo.
 
Many BYers wanted to bench Polley. There was a contingent who constantly criticized his play (except after Tulane).

He will be badly missed. And the haters will lament his absence.

Done and done.

Hurley and the medical staff needs to evaluate how this happened yes not all injuries are avoidable but you gotta try and address this.

As for Polley feel awful for him, sure no one was hurting more then him today, have no doubt he will be back and better next year for big east play.
 
Very strange this happens after a really aggressive game he played.....I wonder if there is any connection to this

Doesn’t change injury outcome or the suboptimal court condition today but FWIW... Confirmed that it occurred @ Werth on Friday.

Thank you, that's good to hear. Obviously not the injury but I would've been livid if it happened on the XL court.

Any excuse to find fault with someone. It happened. It's done. Sometimes it is just luck.

Theres no one to blame, bad luck happens but it doesnt hurt to evaluate it.

Get well soon. It came after the best game of his career....I guess Bouk and Sid will be seeing more playing time

I am so impressed with Tyler. He looked he was going Pro last game. Then I heard this just before the game. Sucked the life out of me. Maybe, just maybe Bouk and Sid will really shine?
 
Best of luck to Tyler...kid works hard. He may frustrate the fans at times but he puts in the work to get better I can promise you that. Wonder if he'll qualify for a 5th year, anyone know the rule with that? Fast recovery TP!!

The team I think will be okay...I personally think Bouk is an upgrade at the 3 (not taking a dig at Tyler). If we can get anything near what Sid brought us today, we'll be just fine. Gilbert, Vital, Bouk, Akok, and Carlton with Adams, Gaffney, Sid, and Whaley off the bench.
 
grad transfer also a possibility for him if he redshirts next year
 
He could play such a useful role on a high level team — play 8-10 mins and just fire up threes. In a perfect world that’s where we will be.

Although rarely employed even at the highest level of sport, high intensity training days should be followed by a low intensity day. This minimizes the risk of non-contact injuries like Polley's torn ACL. Friday was the day before Saturday's game so Friday should be a low intensity day. That virtually eliminates the possibility of a torn ligament or other injury. What teams will instead do is lower the volume (time) of practice the day before a game but not the intensity of movement. It happens all the way from professional sports to high school and is probably the biggest contributing factor to major injuries like this. Why? There's no good answer except "this is how we've always done it."

One problem.with that theory- the game was on Sunday not Saturday

Oops. Care to retract your bull#$&* statement?

How does this guy not know the game was Sunday? He posted that the injury was totally unavoidable right before the game yesterday.

Does he think today is Sunday?

FULL RETRACTION. Thought it was torn on Saturday. My sincere apologies.

But one has to wonder what went on Thursday and it's still my contention that improper "load management" is the cause of non-contact injuries such as this.
