John Calipari Statement on Nerlens Noel's Injury

University of Kentucky head coach John Calipari released the following statement about Nerlens Noel's torn ACL injury earlier today:

Kentucky Head Coach John Calipari on Nerlens Noel's injury

I’ve been coaching for 22 years and this is the first injury we’ve had of this kind during the season, which makes it even more devastating. I met with Nerlens earlier today. The meeting was really positive, and I loved his attitude. The way he is already dealing with this injury lets me know that he is going to come back stronger than ever. The good news is he is insured, so he would have been fine even if the injury would have been worse. Obviously this is not a career-ending injury and it’s one that athletes bounce back from all the time.

Not this one. Take alook at the photo coach, where his left knee is bent 90 degrees TO THE LEFT SIDE. He may have a torn ACL, but there's gotta be all kinds of shit messed up in there.
I like him and really feel sorry for him, but I don't think he will EVER play basketball again. I hope he proves me wrong.
