4-5 months recovery hurts when basketball offseason is only 6-7 months depending on if you say practice or games are beginning.
-
Best case scenario is he's able to be 100% by late July. Sam is already a pretty polished player so missing this time won't hurt as much as it would for some other guys. Hopefully he'll still be able to use those couple of months before the season starts to continue to get even better.

My question to Wojo and the staff is why he risked further injury to the hip
playing in the NIT?? He certainly wasn't himself the last few games.

Because we were trying to win in March. I'm sure if the docs felt it too risky, they would have sat him down.

Because like many here the only thing that matters is winning.

Big Daddy referenced that it had been determined that playing would not harm it further. Sam wanted to play. There weren't many other options.

Surgery too.

I did not know that Sam has a 4-5 rehab ahead of him prior to this morning. I think I would have passed on March success and held him out. We did have not great success in Jan or Feb, so to think March would be the month, might have been wishful thinking.

Disagree vehemently. Championship mentality is earned every day. Ask yourself this. Armed with the exact same information, do you think Vince Lombardi would have sat him? Therein lies your answer.

Maybe during his recovery period, he could develop a Larry Bird like shooting form that only requires a jump of 1" off the ground.

LOL, you just invoked Lombardi when talking about the NIT.

Guessin' SH has a torn labrum, aina?

That would be my guess with a FAI. Maybe shaving some bone down to smooth it out and repair labrum.

When I think NIT, I automatically think Lombardi and The Glory Years. Silly me, I thought everyone did.

Correct.

Silly comparison. Pros versus kids.

Yeah, because giving one's best is foreign in our culture today. The way you become a champion is to play like a champion. It is precisely the reason that Lombardi is the greatest coach in any sport ever. Nobody suggests that Sam should have risked further injury. That's foolish. But with that risk considered and deemed at or near zero, we WIN EVERY DAY. Or do you armchairs think that's only a slogan?
-
This armchair thinks it is slogan at MU. I do believe organizations and sport teams live that mantra. To believe Wojo & Co. fall into that camp is being a bit naive, IMO.
-
It is a fascinating juxtaposition with the USC players voting on whether to play in the NIT. With the football players skipping the lesser bowl games. With it being advocated to cut off financial aid for players choosing to not participate.
Sam and his family made a choice. Thank you, Sam.

GTST, aina?

Not against the Scoop Bylaws.

Joe McCarthy and Casey Stengel 7 World Series; Red Aurebach 16 NBA Titles. Lombardi was a great coach but not in any sport ever.

Well, Vince Lombardi coached the Packers in back-to-back Playoff Bowls (which pitted the second place teams from each division against each other prior to the NFL championship game) in the 1963 and 1964 seasons and tried like hell to win both of them. That was the NFL equivalent of the NIT. I bet none of his players who were injured but could suit up missed those games.

Are you suggesting he should have sat out the entire month of March as we were trying to get into the NCAA tournament? Even if he skipped the NIT, all that does to his timeline is move it up 2 weeks.

Well done!

Some people here are so sad. Bet if he had sat out and point was made that he didn't need to sit, all these same guys would be calling him a quitter and a terrible teammate. What a lot of pathetic people. And think about it who the hell was going to play the 4 for 30 minutes?

So i was diagnosed with an FAI and torn labrum in my right hip when I was 44. Between diagnosis and surgery I finished training for a marathon, ran a marathon (sub 4hr thank you very much), went through PT to build my lateral movement, and ran 2 halves (sub 1:45). Rehab sucked but i was back running half marathons in 7 months.
Yeah, i'm awesome! but that's not the point. The point is that Sam is WAY younger, WAY more physically fit, has access to better doctors, and has access to MUCH better PT resources than i did (though my PT guy was a Marquette grad). It is a long recovery but Sam has plenty of time to get ready for next season and he fixed and done.

Dude, respect for those marathon and half marathon splits.
