It certainly looks like there’s going to be a different team next year.
I hope that it does better than the last 2.

What do you mean? Last year is now looking like a successful season.
I expected that woul happen.

I did a search for death spiral that’s what it returners. But they look like ants to me too.

I suppose last year really was a success, but only based upon the injuries and coaching job that helped navigate the strangeness of last season. This season? I don’t know what to make of it. It feels like something is missing, maybe a team identity? I don’t know.

This phenomenon occurs when ants leave a trail while following others and they end up just going in circles until they die. Fascinating, but definitely happens with people in a downward spiral if those with character don’t pull the others out of it.

This makes Lemmings look like unreasonable, wasteful selfish little monsters.

Only here can one find entitlement in a death spiral.

Rose’s mom said on social media today that the coaches knew his foot was fractured at halftime, but loaded him up on painkillers and put a “steel insole” in his shoe and ran him back out for the 2nd half.
If true, that means that our coaches let both Rising and Rose both play a game with season-ending injuries.
Um…yikes.

That’s not great. The Tordal situation as someone in medicine is worrisome. These trainers seem super reckless.

Doesn’t speak to having much confidence in Wilson, either.
That might explain his performance in the second half.
Question for all: If Rose were your son, knowing this would you urge him not to go back to Utah to play again?

This was the post from Rose’s mom.
If it went down like she said it did, absolutely not. That’s insane.

What is happening in the program? It needs to be completely overhauled, I am afraid, from the trainers, to the coaches and players, to the support staff.

We don’t know what Rose’s response was. He’s a competitor, and he could have likely fought to stay with it. Should he have been overruled? Maybe. We don’t know the details.

they didnt get confirmation of the extent of his injury till Monday night, although I’m sure they had a good idea what it might be.
I’m confident the decision to play was left mostly to Brandon and if he couldnt do any more damage then how can you blame the staff?
I think we’re reaching with the conspiracy theory here.

Every kid at that level is a competitor. It’s the coach’s job to have the judgement on when to shut them down. Either because they can further hurt themselves or hurt the team.
Twice now this season, it seems the coaches didn’t do that. Thats a big problem, imo.

Playing with pain is a part of the game, and sometimes you can’t tell just how broken things are until a thorough medical exam is performed. Unless the University has installed a full radiological area in the Training-Locker Rooms area, it’s only by pain or visual observation that one can assess things. As one who broke both feet at the same time, then marched 10 clicks on those broken parts, it can be done; but when you turn 60 you are in total regret mode every time the weather changes or gets really cold. Recovery from it took 10 weeks.
