99% unrelated.   And more a comment on some NCAA coaches -- I have no reason to believe that JB would react the same way.    But I am reminded why an athlete should have no qualms about leaving his school early.

I was watching Beau Hossler (a real pro prospect who led the US Open in round 2 as a 17 year old in 2012) in obvious pain with a significant shoulder issue on the 15th continue to play his match which he completed and finished off in the 17th hole.    He took a 15 minute medical timeout, after his shoulder popped out, and then every shot was very painful that he jumped and threw his club.

What was really disgusting was his coach afterwards saying he knew he was hurt, but he didn't bother asking Beau to stop, because he is certain Beau would have said no.   Really coach, leaving it to the player?  Leaving the player to feel bad in front of his teammates if he quits himself.   This is where you as an adult have to look after your players.

In fact he was in so much pain that he putted out of the 17th bunker rather than swinging.  He was taking so long to finally build the courage to shoot each time.     I am sure he would have been relieved if the coach had stepped in

I just thought it was really sad and disgusting at the same time.
