I think we have a systemic problem here at UMKC... not the coaches, not the players or trainers or tutors or anyone in the athletic department.
We have several kids with careers ENDED due to medical calls.. several guys lost to concussions. other guys lost for seasons at a time to "take a look and see how it does"
Problem is when a kid gets an injury for the first time the Doctors saying "Don/t know but this could be bad" That kinda stuff scares the poop out of an 18 year old whose culture has never said suck it up... then add fear and the total lack of respect for the athletic career of the kid. (guys playing in Europe can make 6 figures right out of college,,, try that on math department) But not our guy... he is injury prone... good luck in Lebanon ball.(except he is not injury prone any more than anyone else) The deal is.... Basketball guys don't get CTE... other sports do.. boxing with repeated daily head trauma, and football, also in there is hockey with hard surfaces butting....wrestling butts heads every day... and even baseball is capable of catastrophic head trauma with line drives and a hard ball... No basketball since it is an inflated ball and can compress... elbows etc... but we have not measured the effects of steroids and CTE... We can measure the number of basketball players with CTE who did not work other sports... Zero, bagel, Bupkus... gone.... Hidde and Josiah will be looked at as injury prone... who needs 2 years to recover from the same injury Mahomes had and played NFL football in 2 weeks... Who needs to take a year off for blown ankles, broken noses, dislocated fingers, and tendinitis in the knees... Well Roos do. Players... do your own homework to further your career. You are men now and can advocate for yourself. I am in my 60s and have residual pain from basketball and wrestling injuries... would not trade a second of that... and I was a terrible player. Most of these guys are serious about their craft... Doctors should be advocates of their chosen profession... yep profession. Basketball in D1 is a profession. It is not a hobby like it is to the doctor... it may be the player's best way to provide for his family as a young adult and open many doors with his college education. If, as a doctor, you are too afraid for these athletes to maximize their potential... get out of the way and allow these men to pursue their career. I am truly sick of guys being lost for the season and manipulated by medical staff that has no respect for their chosen profession. Their level of commitment to excellence should demand your respect... Not.. Golly Billy, we see you have a 42" vertical leap.. are you aware of the permanent damage you can cause by landing funny or even landing on someone else? Real threats need real medical advice. Defensive Cover your ass opinions should have little to do with men that are laying it all on the line.
