High ankle sprains have been notoriously troublesome for many athletes, especially those who have to make quick lateral moves. They take a rather long time to fully heal. And that's for non-athletes! I'm pretty sure Bishop exceeded the amount of play this season that would permit granting a medical hardship to preserve a year of eligibility. When players suffer a season-ending injury before a certain small percentage of that season's games have been played, they can apply for a medical hardship, but that's usually only a few games. Basically, to think Jermaine is faking this injury to be able to transfer and still be a sophomore somewhere is inane, because it's not possible.

slu72 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 How does Coach K know he threw the transfers off the bus? Evidence and facts please. Not saying he's glad they're gone but I've not heard he handed them a pink slip. If he did, why didn't Gillman get one? Coaches get paid to win. If that entails taking back a scholie or two or three to upgrade what's got to be one of the weakest D1 rosters in the country, I'm all for it. I guess the genius Coach K thinks we're loaded with 4-5 star players but are being under coached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More saying that he might not see the benefit of coming back this year because he can save a year of eligibility. After looking for an admittedly short time, it seems like the cut-off for medical redshirt is 30% of your team's games. At only 9 games played, it looks like he would meet at least that requirement.

Yes it is 30% for a medical hardship waiver. With one game in the A-10 guaranteed, the minimum SLU will play is 32 games, so his 9 is under the 30%. The other part of the equation is that once Jermaine gets out of the boot, and is cleared for basketball activities, it will take some time for him to be able to play effectively. There are only 7 weeks left in the season. At some point in time in the next few weeks, if he is not back on the court it makes sense to shut it down. What you need is a doc to run the records. 2.8.4.3.3 Medical Documentation. Contemporaneous or other appropriate medical documentation, from a physician (a medical doctor) who administered care at the time of the injury or illness, that establishes the student-athlete's inability to compete as a result of that injury or illness shall be submitted with any hardship-waiver request.

I didn't think it would be so high as 30 percent. But the thing is, retaining a year of eligibility through medical hardship doesn't mean he must transfer. It could be that Coach Ford has a lot of influence in that. "Jermaine can help us going forward and this year has no real future, so we could have him for three more years after this instead of two." Ford has said that he doesn't want to rush Bishop back and wants to make sure he has no pain. I'm not privy to all of the NCAA's requirements on a medical hardship waiver, but I suspect it must be a season-ending injury. Tearing a ligament requiring surgery or a broken bone leads to a straightforward case, but a sprain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old guy Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I think a good coach would acknowledge that we are playing with a depleted team plagued with injuries and that the players are doing the best they can, but just cannot do more. Then I think a good coach would mention any players playing well or better than they were before. Of course I am not a coach, so I may be way off base.

cheeseman Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Look, Ford has to not only think of his players but also the fan base.

Old guy Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 So, it appears that the job of a head coach is vastly more complex than just recruiting talent and coaching the team.

He said by that he meant his goal was for his players to obtain a well rounded education and to grow to responsible adults. Basketball obviously has a role in that goal.

Ford's #1 goal is to win, make money, and land the kentucky job. well okay, top three goals. those are not mutually exclusive with giving his players their best shot in life, or with being an exceptional person in character and integrity. To meet those goals it is imperative he builds a successful program during his time here. The roster has to be purged because two more years of... this.. is beyond unacceptable. Ford is making the right choices. I have full confidence that the Crews apologists will continue to howl, and the rest of us will enjoy wins. Don't actually believe "coachspeak" obviously any coach wants to do that, but wins are far more important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
