He can lift with the football team and still practice with the basketball team. Part of conditioning is cardio work, he can get some of that during basketball practice. Any halfway decent S&C coach can figure this out. They're getting paid too. He'll be a spectator with one of the best seats in the house for games a couple nights per week. If he wasn't doing that, he'd be somewhere else doing something else in his free time.

You mentioned in a previous post he may not be here in a year or two for us to take advantage of his growth. If we want to increase that possibility, we should limit him just as you suggest. You also mentioned athletes use different "muscle sets" for different sports. That's inaccurate. You use all the same muscles. There are differences with how you use your body, more lateral movement and jumping in basketball and more straight line sprinting in football for example. This is all minor and cross training can actually reduce overuse injuries. The lateral movement aspect of basketball may actually help aspects of route running.

You're making way more of this than it is. I'd rather have him sitting on the bench at a game than going to campus parties.
