Moseley has high ankle sprain

by HughGR on Jan 3, 2012 7:59 AM EST

From today's wapo, last PP of the article on TS playing D (Liz Clarke):

Senior guard Sean Mosley has been limited after aggravating the high-ankle sprain he suffered during the summer. Mosley said he expects it to be sore for the rest of the season. “It’s hard for me to sit out because I love the game of basketball so much,” said Mosley, who’s averaging 9.5 points and 5.2 rebounds per game.

Ok, this ain't good news as those things tend to linger and worsen before they take a player out. I am sincerely hoping we don't see him play tonight and instead NF & MP take all of his minutes (Auslander if needed). We need all of our scholarship 9 to be contributing through March and SM is too important a piece. Would rather see MP in extended action (finally) to have a fair guage of his overall improvement at this point. Its hard for him to sit out, I hope MT uses this last tune-up to do so. Your thoughts?

And this makes it sound worse:

Note: Senior guard Sean Mosley has been playing with a gimpy right ankle, the same one in which he tore ligaments over the summer. “[It’s] a little sore,” he said Monday. “It’s hard for me to sit out.”

How much Mosley should play

will be a Turge call. Mosley knows best how he feels, and Turge knows what’s best for the team. If Mosley’s minutes are limited, Parker should see more minutes, but I don’t see Auslander getting more (if any) PT. Our guard depth will be what suffers. Thomas might get a few minutes if Mosley sits the whole game.

Sean's tough

but let’s hope not foolish. I’d certainly rather see him sit tonight and be a bit more rested for the ACC. But as others have said, I have to trust Turge & Co. to make theright decision for Sean and the team.

Turge said he expect Sean to play. Id imagie his numbers will almost certainly be down though

So

Pe= PG Terrell =SG Nick= SF. Mychal and Sean off the bench. That will work fine. Sean may be acting as the ultimate team player by giving up some minutes. He’s that much of a team player.

Sean came from a school that no longer exists, out of a neighborhood that is tough to get out of. He is as good a person as he is a player, it seems.

No matter what this means, I hope he goes on to great things, possibly coaching. My guess, he’d be great at it.
