    That said I really hope it?s not cancer again or anything else life altering.
    I agree, good post. This is all everyone should be saying. At the end of the day none of us are in the locker rooms or really know what's going on so people need to really be careful with hearsay and speculation without providing facts, especially when it comes to people's health.

    This was my point.

    Also, we handled it poorly from a PR standpoint if it is health. Either have her do a presser. Or if you are worried about her fielding health questions, do a video and release it on Twitter wishing the team well and encouraging the fan base to get behind the team. Doing it the way we did invites cynicism.

    But we've sucked at PR for decades so no surprise.

    Not the point. The OP spoke health and that's all that mattered at the time. Was NOT duh time to jump outside the box. JMHO.

Obviously she didn't come out and say this is cancer again but as much as she has spoken about her past cancer issues, most would think this is what she is talking about. I could be 100% wrong, and if so I will own up to that and apologize. But to make a bonafide statement that her players hate her or that this whole health thing is a lie without showing any proof is simply crazy! Show some proof before making those types of allegations. If she and the Athletic Department are using Health issues as an excuse, our entire program is in alot of trouble from a character standpoint and that starts at the very top.
    Great post. like button push 👆🏼
    If there is more going on and the Athletic Dept used or allowed one to use this in an untrue manner as a way to gloss over other issues, then the next thread should be about who we need to replace and with whom.
    This being said, I pray that CNMP has good health and healing. Even if she isn?t facing cancer currently, survivors can always use prayers of continued health.
