Is there some State or Federal Law, maybe Hipaa, that prohibits a UNT Head Coach from disclosing an injury status on injured players to the fans who follow and care about the team?

HIPAA is only about healthcare providers disclosing personal health information. The HC is not a medical doctor, so we are good here. It is personal choice to not disclose.

And a wise one.  Fans should care more about their team maintaining every advantage possible rather than coddled expectations.  It doesn't give the team any competitive advantage to share injury information publicly for their opponents to see.

Yep, these closed and guarded practices have really made a big difference.

Sorry, I was being facetious. I thought singling our “UNT” Head Coach was the giveaway.

edit: but on the real, so many people are throwing out "but muh hipaa" for all sorts of wild ass stuff lately, it is hard to read sarcasm when it is so obviously sarcasm.... because day to day has become so tedious with absurdity. GMG.

Agree. Sad that our Head  Coach lacks the confidence and coaching skills necessary to win without using these amateurish tactics.

I don't get the entitlement.  As a fan, I want to see us win on Saturdays.  Sure it'd be fun to be able to go see a practice and comforting to know if Bush will be back soon, but I'll forego those comforts and entertainments to maintain what advantages are available to us on Saturdays.  Are we winning enough games?  No.  Does that mean opening practice and sharing injury info will improve that?  Definitely not.

I'd be interested to know what % of FBS schools have open practice (which is a different issue, btw than the original post).  My guess is it's not a very high percent.  These tactics are very common.  Even at the HS level, coaches will switch jersey numbers on kids in scrimmages, or even blank jerseys, and certainly conceal their practices.  This isn't a new thing.  What precedent was set for you guys in the past that open practice should be thing?  I only got to NT in 2005 so I'm not sure what practices before my time were like, but I know in my football experience this isn't uncommon at all.

He can use whatever tactics he wants if they are winning him games.

What SL is currently doing ain't working, and I don't believe injury information is the difference here.

I agree but at an extent. Unless it’s a season ending injury, I don’t think it should be said until near game day. Now practice wise, it should be open.

SL doesn't like to discuss injury details of his players.

Tommy Bush is listed on the depth chart for UAB....so there's that.

[Eagle71]

Why would you tell your opponents about an injury to one of your players? Let them practice like we are at full strength.  As for those of us who bleed Green, well we'll find out on Saturday.  Fly Like An Eagle!

You just don’t understand how bad things would be if we didn’t hold back injury info.

Deonte Simpson has been listed as a starter for both games to date.  He has played in neither.

Announcers just said he has a broken leg.
