Cancel the tournament

[H4wkfan4life]

It's probably becoming a logistical nightmare. How many contingencies are going to be needed to run this thing? What happens if a player, coach, ref gets sick? It isn't about just playing all of these factors and 100 more will need to be answered before teams travel.

Are the players currently not allowed to practice or be around each other?

I just don't see how playing bball a few hours is really going to put them in any more danger than going out in public every day from here on.....

I get that you don't see it. However, we ain't going to be watching any live games come next week.

now that we’ve got an NBA player affected, a mega celebrity and potentially a NCAA basketball coach the NCAA wants nothing to do with being a target of public backlash.

Then they should cancel tomorrows game if they are that concerned with freddy. The big ten should just cancel it all if they feel fred has the virus....

All this going on while the Iowa boys high school tournament continues, correct?

WAC tournament has been suspended. Sounds like a decision will be made tomorrow.

I don't see the BTT moving forward.

This will probably come to a screeching halt as well.

If ever you guys wanted to hate Nebraska even more, now is your opportunity. How selfish and irresponsible can you be, knowing what's going on in the world then going out to coach knowing you are sick?? And now they are saying he has "Influenza A (the common cold)" which is BS. Because influenza A is the freaking flu. Nebraska may be what gets the tourney cancelled.

It's called overreaction.

How about cancelling the Big Ten tournament -- it is not as important as the NCAA tournament.

 

[QChawks]

Zero chance you say?

yup.

called it.

 

[pocha444444]

yup.

called it.

Yep you were right in your prediction. I just hate when people say "zero" or "100% chance" about something of which they have no inside knowledge.

On a happier note, I'm just glad the Clowns managed to squeeze one more game into this season so they could lose 20 games before the Big 12 Tournament was shut down.
