I seriously don't get you guys and takes on when a player will be back. They are never going to play him if he isn't ready and always going to play him if he is. They aren't looking at who we are playing next or in 3 games. Hopefully he is fully ready on Tuesday.

Bingo
 
Everyone is talking about Butler, but Gary Parrish seems to think differently of our schedule.

Has anyone else besides Brando called it a high ankle sprain?

Not that I know. Also don’t think he would have been a game time decision Saturday if it was.

May we at least agree on this -- that there is never sufficient reason to "rush" an injured player back against anyone. His return is never a function of whether we need him to win. It is never a question of whether we "have the tools to win without him."

Nor do you ever suit up an injured player and sit him on the bench for emergency use only. If he's not ready to play when he normally plays, then he's not ready to play in an emergency, either.

Not that Dan Hurley needs to be told this. He seems to religiously adhere to thus rule, the more credit to him.

The player also has a say as only they truly know how much pain they are in. Scans and tests can show strains, sprains and tears, but they really are not what is used to determine when the player is ready. The medical team evaluates the visible signs like swelling range of motion. Then the player as they get closer show what they go do pain free. If a player is good at hiding the pain when they run through the drills then conceivably they could fool the training staff and come back sooner. I am certain most of us casual fans have heard the phrase”protect the player from himself” . Th more competitive the more a training staff has to worry about that. AK is a warrior we all know that. But he is also really smart. He knows how important he is to the team. All that combined I trust they will make the right decision both long and short term.

All fair points but the process is a bit more complicated to always get the right answer to the question. We will only play the student athlete when they are ready to play. Lots goes into that decision and they don’t always get it right.

I get dismissing DePaul and Georgetown, but we gave up 81 points to Butler and were down by seven at the half but everybody's talking about them like they are Marathon Oil.

Just saying.

Butler has been hot of late, we are doomed, clearly DOOMED!

I think he sits out this game and maybe is on a minutes restriction this weekend
 
Healthy you play. No way Karaban feels good enough to play and they don’t let him.

I thought we agreed no "Stewie"??

NO, I called him Stewie in a game chat and 10 people jumped down my throat. Instead of calling them out and killing the game vibes I let it chill until it became known that was actually his nickname.
