In response to mrjames
I don’t think we disagree on the nature of injuries and how they work. I am pretty comfortable with my knowledge of how injuries work.
What we are talking about is the systematic lack of information that is coming from anyone in the Harvard camp. Mr James, do you know what actually happened to Towns’ knee? What is the injury? Did he have surgery? What about Aikens? Why won’t you give out information? Maybe you don’t know, which is even worse in that the culture of secrecy excludes those closest to the program.
You mentioned Yale and Makai Mason or Jordan Bruner. Go ahead and google “Makai Mason footâ€. In about 5 seconds you can learn that Mason had a stress fracture and Bruner tore his meniscus. Then try to google “Seth Towns knee†and outside of the most recent coverage of TA’s press conference you get nada, zippo, nothing.
Here is the quotes from the article written based on TA’s presser, notice the last line of para 1:
Head coach Tommy Amaker spoke to reporters on Friday and indicated that reigning Ivy League Player of the Year Seth Towns and starting point guard Bryce Aiken will both remain out indefinitely with knee injuries. While Aiken has been battling knee injuries since being limited to only 14 games last season, the injury to Towns remains a bit more of a mystery.
In the Ivy League Conference Tournament title game last season, Towns sustained a knee injury with 8:20 left in the second half as Penn went on to ultimately win the game and claim the league’s NCAA tournament autobid. Towns also missed Harvard’s next contest when they lost in the opening round of the NIT to Marquette.
A September report from Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports indicated that Aiken and Towns were expected to be fully cleared for basketball activities once practice officially started. But on Oct. 20, Stadium’s Jeff Goodman reported that neither Aiken nor Towns played in Harvard’s closed preseason scrimmage against Boston College.
Oh wait, HIPAA, that explains everything........
