Isaac Haas may play tomorrow
It would incredibly impressive if he did play, but I don't really see how he could be anything more than a motivational piece. I can't imagine how he'd be able to shoot, FTs or otherwise as he's been practicing layups and hook shoots only, it seems like he'd only be able to rebound or dunk with his left hand, and it'd be easy for Butler to target his ride side on D or O. Still, an interesting story to follow.
This haas to be a joke, right?
I see what you did there. Haas off to you, sir.
My pleasure! Haas a good day!
Haas about you stopping this!
you can kiss my Haas buddy!
Haas no way to talk to your buddy, Haas you no shame?
I see what you TRIED to do there.
You glorious SOB.

That's me, the one who downvoted this shit.
Sometimes in life you have to make tough choices, and when you do, follow your heart and your conscience.
Not only for my bracket, but for the kid wanting to win a natty!
from a Detroit Lions trainer.
he won't be playing because he is worried about his future. It is what is. Us old people say that, and honestly I hate that saying, but this kid wants to win.
Than advice from an MSU trainer
Or an MSU doctor.
Or an MSU interim president.
in your pants or are you just happy to see me.

I've seen it all over twitter, if that helps at all.
The first word of this post is a link...
Williams
A simple Google search would work.
Painter is skeptical. I think a better bet would be to wait it out on the bench, hope for a win, and see what he can do next week.
If all he can do is shoot one-handed, he's just going to be an emergency player anyway. But if he can get solid enough to play next week in some limited role, that could be huge for them.
Daniel Larusso’s gonna fight?
You gotta problem with that?
This guy who played varsity qb at my high school broke and dislocated (subluxed) his elbow in the 6th game of the season. He sat out two series and went in and played the rest of the season (7 more games). He threw the ball after too. Messed up college scholarships due to needing surgery after the season. Has always said giving up college football for his team was worth it...to each his own I guess.
I've seen alotof kids with talent, but not haas talent.
Ethics scenario: Haas plays tomorrow; what do you tell your players if you're Lavall Jordan? You have to tell them to absolutely attack Haas right? He's playing one armed and is their best defensive player. You gotta send everyone right at him and force him to play defense one armed.
I don't think this is an ethical issue. There is nothing wrong about trying your hardest to win within the rules. As long as they are not trying to injure him, they absolutely should test his ability to play. And if re-injury is a threat Purdue should not let him go out there.
Part of trying to win is attacking weaknesses in your opponent. I don't think anyone in these types of sports think there's anything wrong with that if the weakness is due to an injury.
Let's suppose Michigan meets Michigan State in San Antonio. It's a heated matchup, of course, with lots of hype. We desperately want to win. They desperately want to win. MSU has gone small with Jaren Jackson Jr. at the 5 for most of their regional and it's working. People look forward to a Wagner-JJJ matchup as one of the key linchpins in the game.
JJJ turns an ankle early in the first half and is out for the game. Nick Ward comes in to take his place.
Do you want Moe Wagner to see Ward, consider attacking him with another vicious behind-the-back dribble, and decide not to because it wouldn't be fair because Jackson got hurt?
No. We'd go after him. Because that's what you do.
Sensai says do it. What
Do you do?
Every time.
Then get him a body bag!
Sting?
Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner.
what team Sensei is rooting for, XM.
I think I get the point you are trying to make but that scenario is nothing like a team purposely banging Haas on the right side because of his broken elbow (which is the only ethical dilemma a coach might have even though OP didn't come out and say it).
What the fuck are you talking about? This is an awful scenario and comparison. You essentially just described playing a game to win, but did it in 6 paragraphs
If there’s any ethical issue, it’s on Purdue for determining his ability to play. If he can’t play without risk of serious/further injury then he shouldn’t be out there. I suspect this is more of a coaching head game type move. Haas will be limited if he tries to play.
Haas has already got the gameface ready.
Haarms can't play 40 minutes. If Haas can spell him 2 minutes a time for 8 minutes, maybe that helps.
too many kids these days are on their phones instead of reviewing sufficient game film from Gonzaga anyways
Take Butler and the points.
I'd hope someone at Purdue would stop him from playing, since at least they have x-ray machines available at this site.
What Would Tim Brando Say?
Poor damn Purdue
Kid is a monster and a pillar of the team. Purdue had a good shot at winning it all. I don't know if they can without Haas. Either way, I hope he recovers completely.
if our guys are nba ready, wagner and whatever his name is, good luck. I would trade wag and marr for haas, and 7 draft picks
the theme from Shaft?
