Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 4146801, member: 405"] Yeah, but why is it that so many of our guys get chronic injuries that last a month or two of the season? Because they coach never sits them, so they can get more treatment and maybe rest for a week and get better. Soccer coaches, where people play even more compressed schedules (3 games a week vs. 2 games a week for NCAA hoops), when players get muscular injuries, giving them time off avoids or lessens the likelihood of the injury becoming a chronic issue. When Quincy was unable to jump for defensive rebounds, and was mostly locking arms with guys to try to get rebounds, was that really the best guy we could have put out there - a guy who couldn't jump? If he was unable to jump, how well do you think he was moving laterally? That's what I was talking about. Basketball is not football. Muscle injuries recover faster with treatment and rest, or else they become chronic. Roster mismanagement in a different form. [/QUOTE]
