Message: [QUOTE="jonson, post: 3478416, member: 6034"] Spring sports only so far, and that makes sense. But the problems doing this for wbb are so numerous that I am frankly surprised that Geno, or any coach for that matter, would think it's a good, or fair, idea. Most of the seniors in, say, Division 1, haven't missed a single game. And, among the tournament teams, half will miss only 1 game, another 16 2, and so on. And one could of course argue that everyone on these teams has been similarly deprived. Rosters for a fair number of teams will have to expand past the current limit to accommodate returning seniors, and incoming freshmen, who made decisions based on what a given team's roster would look like in 2020-21 will be surprised to find that their decisions were based on information that is no longer relevant and, in some cases, will doubtless want to go elsewhere. Etc., etc., etc. . . . I say all of this as a fan of the team--Oregon--for whom the cancellation was arguably the most painful. UCONN, Baylor, and South Carolina already have accomplished what Ionescu and company hoped to do, and the chances of Oregon having a team as good as this one down the road are imo less (in UCONN's case considerably so) than the comparable odds for the other three. In short, I--and I think most Oregon fans--couldn't be more disappointed and sadder for the team. But that doesn't mean extending this year's problems into the next season. [/QUOTE]
