Does anyone know how OSU having a positive covid case, affects the WSU team? Shouldn’t they have to quarantine since I assume they had close contact to the positive case. If it was player? Do we know for sure if it was a player that has it? According to news reports, the OSU traveling party was still in Pullman when the positive result came back. There has been no indication whether the positive is a player, coach, or other member of the traveling party, but all reports describe this positive in the singular (only one person tested positive). In all likelihood, OSU immediately informed WSU of the circumstances but even if they didn't, their request for postponement of the Monday game would have had to go to the Pac-12 office who in turn would have informed WSU on Sunday. The fact that WSU proceeded with their own Monday game indicates that WSU is in the clear. (Could one go further and deduce that this means the positive was not an on-court player for the Beavers? Maybe.) Of course, I didn't scour the entire WSU sideline on Monday so maybe someone was missing, but there wasn't a wholesale absence of Cougar players. The Pac-12 protocol provides for air ambulance transport for the person who tested positive, but there have been no reports on whether the remaining members of the Beaver party have left Pullman yet. Can anyone confirm that they're actually back in Corvallis? |

I don't know what the Pac12 protocols or what the NCAA guidelines are, but under most circumstances, you are only considered 'exposed' if you spent at least 15 minutes, within 6 feet of someone, without wearing mask. Otherwise, the risk is considered too low for it to be considered "exposure".
I'm guessing Pac12/NCAA is a little tighter on what they use as a guideline.

Katie is off to visit relatives for Xmas so I'd assume it was a practice player or some such and the coaches were not exposed.

With Duke WBB pausing basketball activities during the middle of this month and coming back to report more than a week later that the remainder of their season is cancelled, the Beavs would appear to be on a similar track for full shutdown as well as perhaps the second P5 WBB program to make the same call.

Due to the lack of understanding the long term effects of contracting covid and the fact that it appears that young people are at risk of them, I'm not sure college or high school sports should be being played. A professional is at least getting paid for the risk.

vhf often is ahead of the curve on information concerning OSU WBB - so when he writes:
"...the Beavs would appear to be on a similar track for full shutdown as well as perhaps the second P5 WBB program to make the same call."
It has me a bit concerned. Although, to tell the truth, I don't think Coach would totally object to taking a pass on this season. (No matter what he might say in public.)
He's looking at his worst season in most fan's memory, he's desperately lacking in team speed, and he has a group of players with almost no ability to attack the basket off the dribble. Adding to his woes, he's looking at what is possibly his weakest defensive teams in the past 7 years...
At any rate, I'm hoping for the best for the team's health and its future as a premiere team in the Pac....
GO BEAVS!!

Fans only want success, coaches are fixers and they want to get it right if it kills them and the team. And on team speed, I'd say Taya is either mentally or physically or both limited in her mobility still. But otherwise I'm curious who you think lacks speed for their position. On ability to attack the basket off the dribble, Sasha's about as good as the Beav's have ever had. Savannah will be a good one at that also. The Beav's have two main problems that have dropped them from an elite team. 1- Their defense is based on defensive rebounding, and they have been one of the top 5 defensive rebounding teams for years. They are 34th in the country this year. 2- In the past the Beav's defensive shooting % has been in the top 20 in the country. This year they are ranked 128th overall and the 3 point % is 292th. The good news is that these same coaches have been able to get the past teams to success in both of these areas. The bad news is that so far it's not working so far. |

Just considering interruptions so far ( prior to and during ), this season , and I know all teams have experienced it, the Beaver women seem to need more ‘adjustment’ time than they have been able to squeeze in .
I am not concerned however this season goes down because ( hopefully ), everything will normalize.
Go Beavers !

SR wants to play even if he kills the team with Covid and Taya is mentally challenged. You must be a riot at parties! |

With what you say is true and it sounds like you have some knowledge we dont have and the rest of the Pac-11 continues then look for a slew of players that may not be as concerned heading for the transfer portals. I don't think it would make Sasha Goforth happy to see the rest of the Pac continue or other conferences for that matter and have Scott call it quits like you imply. Why risk setting the program back years?
Also imagine how it could (I said could) affect those currently being recruited as well as experience the rest of the Pac-12 would gain playing into March.
The team is crappy but there is no need to mail it in.

I doubt that they would be "mailing it in" because of how they are playing. It is a matter of the future will being of some young ladies. It appears that there are some side effects after recovery and there is no way to know how long they may last. From what I've read at least some of the issues would directly affect their ability to play at this level. Personally, I'd like to see a conservative approach in this case.

Imagine the morale issues the team would have to quit for the year on a two game losing skid.

I think they should cancel the whole enchilada across the board. Not just the sports but F.King could really send a message across the board to lobby to shut everything down. Open it back up again in the fall.  |
