I am not persuaded by the natural impulse to assume some problem in UConn's strength and conditioning program. Azzi's injuries come from events that predate her arrival in Storrs or to be from in-game trauma. Same with Caroline. Same with Ayanna. Same with Jana.

The only ambiguous case is Paige. However, she had ankle trouble in HS, and this followed her to Storrs where she ended up aggravating it in a game (against Tennessee), and had surgery to correct it in the summer after freshman year. What was less well-publicized at the time -- but Paige has spoken about since -- is the vulnerability of folks who've had ankle problems to suffer non-contact knee injuries. She thinks both her knee injuries can be traced to that ankle injury, and now knowing this she spent last year focusing on a rehab program tailored to her situation, including diet, which she resisted her first 2 years. Should the strength and conditioning coach have been more alert to this situation? I doubt this was a factor that can be laid at Andrea Hudy's door.
