Feel sorry for the young man

[BrewCity83]

Boo frickin hoo.

Too bad he didn't play Saturday....then he'd be unable to apply for a medical redshirt.

(Note that I too feel bad for the kid.  My angle is looking at it in a team perspective.)

I believe he's ineligible for a medical waiver regardless. You must play less than 30% of your team's regular season games. King played in 10 games, and 10/31=32.3%.

I NEVER want to see an athlete get hurt.  I sincerely hope Kobe has a full and complete recovery.

I suspect the vast majority of us agree with your thought.  Hope the best for Kobe.

He wouldn't have gotten hurt if he was conditioned against Marquette-caliber athletes

According to the linked article:

"King has averaged 5.2 points and 19.0 minutes in 10 games. Because he played in only 30% of UW's scheduled games (minimum of 32), King is eligible to apply for a medical hardship waiver after the season."

Yeah but 10/32 = 31.25%

And my recollection is that they count 32 because the count the conference tournament as one game.  Or maybe I'm thinking of something else.

Or maybe we just need JB answer this.

FWIW the jsonline story says he's eligible for a medical redshirt.

The author isn't the brightest bulb on the block...he prints everything Barry's team dishes up to him.  Not sure Math is his strength either.

Others have said that as well.  Just curious as to how that can be given the rules as applied over the years.

[Man Clam Chow]

Among other requirements, to be eligible for a medical redshirt, King's injury must have occurred when he has not participated in more than 30% of Wisconsin's scheduled games.  (NCAA D1 Manual 12.8.4(c)).  The conference tournament counts as one game (12.8.4.3.6.1.1.1), so 32 games are considered as scheduled.  Any computation of the percent limitation that results in a fractional portion of a game shall be rounded to the next whole number (12.8.4.3.6.2).  32 games x 30% = 9.6 games, which is rounded up to 10 games.  As King has only played in 10 games, he has not participated in more than 30% of Wisconsin's games, per the NCAA Manual.

Thank you!

If this is an ACL.....

Early next season will be in jeopardy also.....

Usually 12 - 15 months......And that is pushing it......

PS.....It will be worse if Happ goes "senior grad transfer"......

Wish the young man all the best as he recovers from his injury.  Hopefully he returns in good form after the rehab.

Cold.

[GooooMarquette]

I hate the rodents...but I feel bad for the kid, and wish him well in his recovery.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Don't like seeing players get hurt. And don't like seeing Bucky get a decent-quality player for a fifth year.

[94Warrior]

I agree in wishing the best for Kobe.  And by saying that, it would be in his best interest to transfer to MU immediately following final exams.  The Greg Gard dumpster fire is about to get very hot.  The rodent fan base is not known for its patience or loyalty.

Not really a good move for the guy.  He no longer fits a need for MU.  I don't see him getting a schollie.  Not homerism, MU is pretty loaded at the wing now.  Now if he played the point....

[Spotcheck Billy]

He played in 11 games, the only way it could count as 10 is if the 2 Hall of Fame games only count as 1.

King? No, he played in 10. UW-M came in 4-6 and he played in every game.

I'm not sure what your UW-M comment means but from the box scores on UW's web site King played in:
N Iowa
SC State
Yale
Xavier
Baylor
UCLA
UWM
VA
Ohio St
Penn State
Temple

N Iowa was an exhibition for disaster relief like ours with UWM. I would assume it doesn't count against his redshirt total.
