Brad needs instructions on how to practice with the kids without causing injury.

Before the sky falls/ knee could be anything- could be a knee bang (bruise), could be a strain, could be tendinitis. Could be soreness. So let’s just wait till more info comes out, we know we’re gonna beat FGCU regsrdless

why can’t we have nice things
What are they doing in practice??
They should probably just spend every practice shooting free throws and three pointers. But no jumping on the three pointers in case someone lands on the floor too hard.
Come on guys, it definitely sucks but this is basketball, there is going to be contact when you play basketball and injuries are going to happen.
The only way people should be upset with the coaching staff is if someone is with a current injury is being pushed too hard and reinjures themselves or if someone gets hurt doing another sport or activity outside of basketball that could have been avoided.

Bball is a contact sport injuries happen. Blaming Underwood is wild. 
Agreed. If this were happening every season, it would be reasonable to ask questions.Bball is a contact sport injuries happen. Blaming Underwood is wild.
When it rains, it pours.
hopefully just precautionary
I don’t know if anyone is blaming Brad per se. But these seem outside of the norm of seasonal college basketball injuries to a single team over the past two years.
Why does our best player the last three years (TSJ, KJ, and now Tomi) get injured or have some other reason to not see the court? Beyond bizarre.
And our course we haven't even gotten into cold and flu season. Isn't there a CVS in town that Brad can drive the guys to and get a flu shot?

Remember thinking this last year. Hopefully these don’t linger and we can just get everyone healthy and stay healthy soon
Yeah Peacock 
As long as everyone has a healthy in March. These injuries might actually help develop players off the bench. It might also hurt our seeding.
