[ShockdaWorld]

well, i guess we'll find out if wichita state's second string could win the mvc after all.

Not really. The competition will be better at this tournament than it will be the majority of the year in the Valley.

Hearing that LS injury is worse than one game, maybe end of December at best. Injury not from the fall he took.

that's getting close to a medical redshirt

that's getting close to a medical redshirt

Anyone know the rules on that? You have to miss at least a third of the season right? Do those games have to be at the beginning of the season?

To gain a medical redshirt for a specific season, the athlete’s illness or injury must occur before the first game of the second half of the team’s schedule. If the team plays an odd number of games, the exact midseason contest is considered part of the second half. For example, if a basketball team plays 25 games, the injury or illness must occur before the start of the team’s 13th game. Games played in postseason tournaments, such as a conference tournament or the NCAA or NIT tournaments, count among the team’s total games played.

IIRC, you have to miss 75% (EW just squeaked in) and the portion you play cannot be in the second half.

Someone call me when the sky quits falling. I'm going to my bunker.

I think the cut off is 30%; i.e. the student athlete must not play in more than 30% of eligible games.

[Cdizzle]

I also have a guess at what the rule is and I also am unwilling to look up the actual rule and post it here.

Basic Qualifications

To qualify for a medical redshirt, a basketball player must sustain an “incapacitating injury or illness.” The injury or illness does not have to be related to basketball, but must take place after the first day of classes in the athlete’s senior year of high school. To gain a medical redshirt for a specific season, the athlete’s illness or injury must occur before the first game of the second half of the team’s schedule. If the team plays an odd number of games, the exact midseason contest is considered part of the second half. For example, if a basketball team plays 25 games, the injury or illness must occur before the start of the team’s 13th game. Games played in postseason tournaments, such as a conference tournament or the NCAA or NIT tournaments, count among the team’s total games played.

Games Played

To gain a medical redshirt, the athlete cannot compete in more than 30 percent of her team’s games within a season, not counting contests officially designated as scrimmages or exhibition games. When such computations are made, fractions are rounded up. For example, if a team plays 27 games, the exact 30 percent mark is 8.1. For the purposes of medical redshirt eligibility, therefore, the player may compete in nine games and still be eligible for a medical redshirt.
