Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 3478343, member: 199"] I understand the idea for athletes in spring sports who haven't started competition or have only just done so, but basketball players at most missed 6-9 post season games after a 30 game season. For all athletes in all sports it would also create so many added issues for schools - how do you treat scholarship limits, how do you handle and train an extend roster, and for basketball how do you treat records created during the 5th year both within the school record books and the national record books. Current record for WCBB games played is I think Kalana Greene at 157 (because she was injured in her 8th game as a junior and got a red-shirt year based on long standing NCAA rules.) Dangerfield will blow that away if granted a 5th year because she has played 30+ games in her first four as will most other seniors. She will also create a new Uconn record for assists with another 30+ games to play. In Geno's longer interview he talked about how he will discuss the situation with Dangerfield and remind her in the journey through life if in her next 21 years her biggest disappointment will have been missing her senior year NCAA tournament she will be able to count herself very blessed. I think that is a very good approach and one that makes sense for everyone. I do think that those juniors who have the chance to enter the WNBA draft this year may well reconsider their options. Some may change their decision and stay for another year, others may choose to go forward with a decision to turn pro. There is no correct decision and no way of knowing what the future is. For Sabrina what would her decision have been last year if she knew the NCAA would be canceled this year? [/QUOTE]
