Well, you could try taking the utmost precautions instead ?So frustrating. What you going to do other than take the upmost precautions and everyone abide by them
i hate how right you are about this. so much anxiety.From here on out, it'll be The Daily Exhale.
The past 365 plus days have been so much anxiety, I feel like everyone in the world has aged 5 years in the last 1 year.i hate how right you are about this. so much anxiety.
The problem is, it isn’t just the players / staff . It’s anyone we play against or involved in the game who can put us in jeopardy due to contract tracing. We missed 2 or 3 games earlier this year because a ref tested positive, despite no positives on our team.Lock these guys in a room with no outside contact from now until the end of the season.
Teams are dropping like flies.
Duke, Virginia and Kansas all had positive tests.
If they stick strictly to the standard of being within 6 feet of someone for 15 minutes, even an infected starter on one team might only sideline 1 or 2 players from their opponent via contact tracing. It might be a huge mess, but I expect most teams will be able to field 5 players throughout the tournament.The problem is, it isn’t just the players / staff / team.

I will point out however, that Butler played in the game with the refs too and didn’t miss a game.
Given CTs strict rules, unfortunately a lot of the “risk” mitigation is out of the teams direct control.
You’re making a massive assumption here that the state of CT would use common sense in this scenario (their past actions says that’s highly unlikely).If they stick strictly to the standard of being within 6 feet of someone for 15 minutes, even an infected starter on one team might only sideline 1 or 2 players from their opponent via contact tracing.

I don't think Connecticut would have anything to say about it. UConn can do whatever they want in Indiana, can't they? Worst case, they might have to quarantine upon return.You’re making a massive assumption here that the state of CT would use common sense in this scenario (their past actions says that’s highly unlikely).
edit: but yes, every other team in the tournament shouldn’t have an issue fielding a team under this scenario
So what you’re saying is that not only is Tyler Olander better than Syracuse at basketball, but COVID is as well?Covid just knocked UVA out of the ACC tournament.
