[QUOTE="glandon1960, post: 760590, member: 2458"] If you do contact practice - and any player tests positive, you have to shutdown practice and postpone games for two weeks (maybe more if you factor in needed practice after shutdown to get back to where you were). During that time, players not positive can workout on their own - but not as a group/team. Pastner's plan means if someone is positive - that player is out for two weeks, but team can keep practicing/playing (no different than if same person got injured and out for two weeks to recover). Will it be harder to play our best w/out contact practice - Yes. I agree w/Red that I am less concerned with a team that brings most players back vs. one counting on newcomers to play most of the minutes. I am sure there will be games cancelled/postponed this year - question is how many - and do we get to a reasonable facsimile of a season. Is being a little less ready to go better than having to shut things down mid-season for two weeks (how competitive will you be immediately after that)? TBD - Pastner thinks the two week shutdown is worse (my gut is he is right). The catch is what if player on another team we play tests positive after we play - that is something CJP can not control. I know the players will have to test negative to play a game, but I think there will be some impact to GT if player on another team test positive within 24-48 hours of playing GT. CJP has a plan and is sticking to it, and he thinks it maximizes our chances. We will know come March if he was right. Other teams are going about practice as usual - and given community spread, are more likely to have to shut team down for extended period of time (maybe more than once). [/QUOTE]
