this is one of the things I love about Mick. I think he does not push them too hard. He knows it is near the end of the season, and he needs Brooks for the tourney. If he reinjures himself, there wont be enough time to recover before the tourney.
I also hear him mention that he shortens practices to keep their legs fresh, etc. I loved Huggs, but felt the 3 hr practices and weight lifting were too much at times. We couldn't shoot, and were often tired. Mick said he held Gary out of practice all week before the Eggz game. Huggs motto was if you don't practice you don't play. I loved the toughness, but felt it went too far. How you gonna hold out your star from a game whom needed to heal due to no fault of his own / injury.
