I wonder if we're not just more protective than everybody else. Not that I'm against that. But remember, Texas let Jamie Carey play when we wouldn't.

I think the two cases are pretty different, though of course we only have limited info on both.

As is familiar, Jamie Carey wanted to play but Stanford doctors wouldn't clear her, while Texas doctors did. Last time a conversation about her came up, I found an article on the web that basically said she continued to have problems throughout her Texas and WNBA career (memory problems, etc.). So to me, it was no wonder Stanford doctors wouldn't let her play.

We heard through much of last year that Toni was allowed to play whenever she felt up to it. So I don't think this was a case of the doctors forbidding her to play when she herself wanted to risk it.
