Baylor’s medical team was obviously willing to take a risk our team wasn’t or they are better at their jobs and found a way to better treat or monitor his ailment 
Regardless, that’s one thing I don’t think we can blame Avery for

How does this have a downvote? It’s exactly what happened. Butler leaving had nothing to do with Avery.

That might be exactly what happened but it’s not all that happened.

Was there some pressure applied to the medical team to not sign off on Butler so there were minutes for Jr.?

I would bet money on that. He only took the job so he could coach Jr and give him minutes

Butler wasn't an inherited Grant recruit. Avery recruited and signed the dude. If he went to the trouble of recruiting a player and getting him to sign a NLI just to turn around and pressure the medical staff into finding something to disqualify him for so he could appear "forced" to play his son then he's obviously a terrible person, but from what I saw out of Avery he wasn't going to go to that much trouble to justify playing his son. He was just going to do it, good reason or not.

My guess would be it had absolutely nothing to do with AJ and everything to do with Kira signing and re-classifying.

That’s what I was going to say. I’m sure the heart condition was a part of it (maybe just all of it) but if I’m going with baseless speculation then I would hone in on the Kira angle.
I know nothing would make this board happier than an Avery JR conspiracy, but if anything was suspicious it was the timing of it in relation to Kira’s commitment/reclassification.

Now I can see that, if we are talking about reasons why Avery may have encouraged the medical staff to err heavily on the side of caution. It could have been some relatively minor medical condition the doctors were on the fence about and Avery nudged them towards disqualifying him so he could sign the elite in state recruit and buy himself a little goodwill from the fans.

No, nothing to do with Jr.

He could have encouraged Damon to seek greener pastures and still gotten Butler.
He was clearly a gem Avery had unearthed like Sexton. You don't let a talent like that slip,away especially when we had no ball handlers.

Yeah why didn’t he force out Dazon instead of Butler?

Anthony Grant has a pretty good basketball team this year. I guess some guys are better off at mid majors

Found this interesting looking through Oats' tenure at Buffalo regarding turnovers:
'15-'16 (20-15) - Buffalo finished 27th in the country with 475 turnovers.
'16-'17 (17-15) - Buffalo finished 91st in the country with 453 turnovers.
'17-'18 (27-9) - Buffalo finished 108th in the country with 446 turnovers.
'18-'19 (32-4) - Buffalo finished 156th in the country with 433 turnovers.

The biggest thing that jumps off the page to me aside from the steady improvement is that the difference between terrible and average in terms of turnovers works out to be a little more than 1 per game.

Coach Ya supposedly deserves some credit for Butler as well.
Posted on 11/25/19 at 5:52 pm to Chadaristic
He certainly was making sure everyone knew it on Twitter the other night

Maybe so. Avery deferred to Pettway for scouting. That’s what I was referring to; not Butler’s recruitment.
