When a *male* basketball player tears an ACL, the news is everywhere--even on Buzzfeed!

That's because in men's roundball it's a relatively rare injury. Men's college basketball teams don't expect that their ballers are going to blow up their ACLs. In WCBB and the W it's just standard stuff. That's kinda explains how women ballers with five ACL reconstructions get drafted into the WNBA and nobody blinks.
I'd love to look at that methodology and stats behind the quoted study. Not to mention addressing the long term consequences of this type of damage.
Finally, the quoted stat that the average W career is only 3 to 4 years in no way justifies the long term damage to these women's health. That piece sounds like the script for an informercial for an ortho surgeon that specializes in ACL reconstruction.
Pretty sad and misleading.
I've personally got some serious problems with how the NCAA operates in general, but refusing to allow felons to coach at events sanctioned by the NCAA certainly isn't one of them.
Makes a person wonder exactly how far we should lower the bar when considering who directs our young people.
No one is saying this guy can't coach or work with young people but the NCAA doesn't have to and shouldn't bless it.
Never thought I'd say this but good for the NCAA.
Here here, say no and I agree with NCAA
