    Lots of familiar names trying to fill up a class. Thought Western Michigan was still an option for him. Must have these bigger programs really trying to fill classes. Really seeing ASU too much on the trail.They are the late January early February version of Tennessee.

    CB's have really been shifting for him, yesterday we were tied with Miss. State, now the leader is foggy with us in second.

    So I have some genuine question here: What can/should a training staff be doing to watch out for this? If it can be caused by acute over-training wouldn't that be really hard to detect? How do you tell someone is over-lifting in a single session in which you are training to exhaustion either way? 

    Each athlete has to know his/her own limits as well. Self reporting symptoms would help, but at the same time a lot of guys wouldn't do that either.

    Precisely. I don't understand why it's difficult to acknowledge this situation is unacceptable, regardless of who deserves the blame. It shouldn't happen. It shouldn't happen even if the previous coaches didn't hold players accountable. It shouldn't happen if a player slacked off on holiday workouts. It shouldn't happen based on a prescribed workout regimen.

     

    Without all the facts and first hand knowledge, all we can really do is accept their words that they're taking this very seriously.

    Many things are unacceptable and shouldn't happen, this is one of them....but then again, so is going 4-8.

    I'm going to disagree with 1 & 2 and I'll explain why.

     

    1- I'm going to say it was purely accidental and I'm sure they'll keep an even closer eye on it to help prevent any recurrence. Most teams that are where we want to be are probably in better shape to handle a workout that has been scaled back 20%. It sounds to me like they made all the plans they could to try to prevent this, short of holding more Rileyesque workouts, and it still happened. Maybe my question was unfairly loaded. Maybe it's not a line teams flirt with....unless they're in extremely poor shape and then maybe the line gets crossed accidentally.

     

    2- Based on what I've stated in #1, I don't think it's an unfair question at all if it's aimed at some posters who immediately want to blame it on poor programming or poor supervision or some shortcoming of the staff. I think we do have the resources and expertise to train these kids safely and by all accounts that is exactly what we were doing....but it still happened. We may basically agree here but I think it a bit unfair to place blame on a staff who was obviously was taking all foreseeable steps to avoid this. My question was a being little facetious. I don't think every and all bad thing can be 100% prevented and I think expecting that to be the case is unreasonable.

     

    I have not suggested anyone not treat this seriously and it is obvious the staff takes it seriously, took every precaution and acted quickly and prudently to assure athlete safety. Sometimes sh#t happens no matter how much you plan to avoid it.
