So you're actually saying this is a fact?

No. It's not the claim I made. It's all he could grasp evidently.

It's a fact that fatigued athletes are more prone to tear an ACL. Study after study proves it. It's being used now in the argument about hurry up offenses.

My complaint was that we had, at one point during the season, more acl and knee injuries than all of the NBA. It was due to fatigue.

The lack of depth, the style of practice, the game schedule was a recipe for what happened. I questioned why Ray would practice for 3 hours the day before a game rather than allow the players rest.


... I was told "it was a freak accident. He just landed wrong. There was no contact." Which proved my point.
