HB Arnetts 801 372 - 0819 <mailto:hbarnett@fiber.net> hbarnett(a)fiber.net 1391 West 800 South Orem, Utah 84058 Vol. 35, Issue 31 February 23, 2015 Click Here To Order or Renew Your Subscriptions <http://cougarclicks.com/product/Order-Cougar-Sportsline?ID=3173> Tenodesis Worked for Me and It Can Work for BYU Football and Basketball Last week I had a torn rotator cuff repaired and a bicep tenodesis. Although this was my second surgery for a bicep tenodesis, I am still not an expert, but I think I now get the basics. Heres my medical take on what happens in case you want to try this at home with your home teachers performing the surgery. You need a hammer to knock yourself out. Some kind of knife is needed. So is a drill and a variety of bits. If you want to make a You Tube video, you will need a camera and some chopsticks. You cut a hole four times in your shoulder until you find a one that will work. Use the chop sticks to spread the hole so the camera will fit. Insert knife and drill and then call Home Depot to talk to a sales associate and he will tell how to finish up the job. I cant overemphasize proper sanitation procedures. If you are going to pick your nose before operating, dont wipe your finger on your sleeve. Its too close to the incisions. Using your pants is much more sanitary. If you see blood, try one of the other four holes and call a Lowes sales associate immediately. If that doesnt work, call my Doctor. He is fabulous (Really). If your home teachers still want to give it a go, here is the actual description of a bicep tenodesis: During a biceps tenodesis procedure the surgeon cuts the attachment of the biceps tendon to the labrum and then reattaches it to the humerus bone. By performing a biceps tenodesis, the pressure is thereby removed from the labrum or biceps tendon in the shoulder and a portion of the biceps tendon can then be surgically removed. This procedure is most often prescribed for those patients with significant biceps tendon symptoms as well as biceps tendon inflammation evidenced through an arthroscopic examination. A biceps tenodesis procedure is most often performed in patients over the age of 40. Now in addition to a knife, drill, hammer and chopsticks, you will also need your AARP card. Im not usually an after surgery Lortab type a guy unless BYU is struggling in football and basketball. Then I ask for all I can get. Its been a week of beautiful BYU experiences. The first two days and 15 tablets later, the Cougars had racked up three national championships in football, were coming off their fourth consecutive final four appearance and just before I woke up the Cougars had Kentucky on the ropes with the Wildcats down by ten with 2 minutes left to play. Frank Jackson and Jabari Parker were leading the Cougars to the Promised Land. Lortab makes it all better. The problem I foresee, however, is that the Lortab will be gone before BYU faces Gonzaga in Spokane this week. I am expecting a painful reminder of just how flawed this basketball team still is. Thanks to a subscriber for pointing out a flaw he noticed with BYUs 75-62 win over San Diego last week in the Marriott Center. I quote. Here's a stat for Greg Wrubell. From BYU's starting five against USD last night, we had Haws and Collinsworth, and then there were three other guys. Haws and Collinsworth: 14 field goals. Three other guys: 0 field goals. Haws and Collinsworth: 16 rebounds. Three other guys: 6 rebounds. Haws and Collinsworth: 5 assists. Three other guys: 1 assist. With just two dangerous players, BYU is not going to beat any well-coached team with Top 50 personnel. But it's remarkable how well they've done this year with just those two players, plus one other solid performer (Winder) who is terrific when he's healthy and when he gets minutes. Winder is even better than he looks in the box score, because my understanding is that he's BYU's best defender. And Halford has been good off the bench. I've been saying it all year, but just imagine how good this team could have been with a full deck. Just add one "plus" forward (Hartsock, for example) and one "plus" big man (Plaisted, for example), and you've got a team that might be contending for a #1 seed right now. And think of how good Haws and Collinsworth might be if every opponent had to worry about guarding five BYU players, instead of just two or three. End of quote. Is a Basketball Talent Tenodesis on the Horizon? What has Gonzaga got that BYU doesnt? Big men that can score, rebound and defend. I watched the Saint Marys vs. Gonzaga game late Saturday night. It was a battle of beasts in the box with Brad Waldow of SMC and Karnowski, Sabonis and Wiltjer for the Zags. The game was won by the big boys. Now all BYU needs is some big boys of their ownand the sooner the better. Well, the horizon is here. Tyler Haws will be gone. He will be missed. Kyle Collinsworth may be gone. Doesnt matter. BYU has always had perimeter players. When there is a post presence to help the perimeter, BYU is good. We have gone over this before, but it cant be mentioned too much. The Cougars missed Nate Austin and Jamal Aytes this season. They both were victims of injury and both would have made this a much better season. Austin is not a scorer, but he is a banger and can rebound, defend and annoy opposing bigs. Aytes can score. Throw Kyle Davis into the mix next season after a transfer redshirt year and BYU already looks stronger in the box if on paper only. I still believe in Corbin Kaufusi. He just needs to keep working and improving. He has a thin basketball resume, but I look to Gonzaga and how they treated their big men as a model of how Kaufusi can be groomed. In case you forgot, it was just a two seasons ago that Przemek Karnowski, as a fresman, was a stiff for the Zags. He saw action in 34 games. Mark Few kept playing him. As a sophomore, he started 36 games and now as a junior he has played his way into a legit NBA player. Kaufusi just needs to play and if not he needs to redshirt a year like Kelly Olynyk did. The NBA first round selection from Gonzaga saw minimal action as a freshman and sophomore. He redshirted and came back for his junior and senior seasons and blossomed into a big money player. We need to stay patient with Kaufusi. Just go back and watch old games with Karnowski and Olynyk if you dont think the wait will be worthwhile. Speaking of the wait being worthwhile, it has been two years since Nick Emery was the buzzword in basketball recruiting for the Cougars. He will fit in somewhere next year in the BYU 7-man rotation. He is good enough to also fit in in the starting five rotation. If Kyle Collinsworth returns for his senior season, this could be an extremely dynamic backcourt. There are plenty who think Collinsworth could use another season at BYU. The game changer may be marriage. He is now engaged to track superstar Shea Martinez from the BYU womens team. Im not a marriage counselor, but I learned early in mine, that somebody had to produce a paycheck and the sooner the better. Married life in Europe playing basketball is a good paying gig. So is running track in Europe. While Collinsworth is getting national attention for his triple doubles, his fiancé is on the verge of national attention for her early times running the 800 meters indoors. Click here <http://byucougars.com/w-track-field/martinez-posts-second-fastest-800-meter s-byu-competes-two-weekend-meets> for some of her track accolades.

And one more Valentine click <http://www.flotrack.org/coverage/251961-Husky-Classic-2015/video/760832-She a-Martinez-runs-big-800m-PR> . Last Weeks Lortab Ratings None: It was pain free last week for the BYU mens volleyball team. The Cougars took care of business with Long Beach State in town beating the 49ers 3-1 on Friday and 3-0 on Saturday. The Cougars are in first place in the MPSF standings with a 10-2 record. UC Irvine is nipping at their heels with a 9-2 record. The BYUs mens swimming team is pain free after taking the championship of the MPSF meet last week in Southern California. Tyler Haws could use some Lortab every time he takes the floor Just like the Energizer bunny, Tyler Haws just keeps on going in his quest to become the all-time leading scorer in BYU basketball history. With 28 points last week against San Diego, Haws is now just 9 points away from taking the scoring scepter away from Jimmer Fredette. The thing about Haws is that he is mugged, thugged and on a good day, just hugged by opposing defenses. Yet he continues to do what he does. Score, score and score some more. Because this thing has been chronicled for over a year, it seems to have lost some of its luster because we all expect it to happen. Take nothing away from Haws or the luster he deserves. Scoring this many points against any and all comers is really, really a big deal. 1 Pill: Not much pain relief needed for womens softball. The Ladys latest stop was at the Mary Nutter Classic last week in Palm Springs. BYU beat UCSB, Indiana and Oregon State. They dropped games to Maryland and Texas A&M. 2 Pills: A double dose for BYU womens basketball three game road losing streak. They close out the regular season at home with games against Portland and Gonzaga. 3 Pills: Is what the BYU baseball team needs after the first two weeks of their season. The Cougars are now 1-7 in the early going of their year. Nebraska took 3 of 4 from BYU this past week in Peoria, Az. 4 Pills: Im cutting this letter short this week. I am Lortab loopy and wanting to go to bed. Feel free to write the last pages of your choosing for this letter. If you think they are really good call Home Depot and ask for the sales associate over newsletters.

Resend of Vol. 35, Issue 30 and PDF file

Once again, the delivery of this issue of Cougar Sportsline has been hit and miss. Those that missed are telling me they didn't receive it. Here it is again with an attached PDF file of the letter. I am still trying to solve this issue. Thanks for your patience. hb HB Arnett's 801 372 - 0819 <mailto:hbarnett@fiber.net> hbarnett(a)fiber.net 1391 West 800 South - Orem, Utah 84058 Vol. 35, Issue 30 - February 16, 2015 Click Here To Order or Renew Your Subscriptions <http://cougarclicks.com/product/Order-Cougar-Sportsline?ID=3173> Fluff and Stuff It was Harry Callahan, played by Clint Eastwood in the 1983 movie Sudden Impact who said, "Go ahead, make my day." Don't know if Dave Rose said, "Go ahead, make my week," but BYU certainly did when they announced early last week that they had signed Rose to a 5-year contract extension. Then a few days later, they announced that there would be a renovation and upgrade to the Marriott Center and capped off their Cougar Callahan moment by announcing a new basketball practice facility that will adjoin the current Marriott Center. These announcements will have a "Sudden Impact" with the Marriott Center renovations set to be ready for the start of next basketball season. The long term impact of the new Marriott Center Annex facility is that it will influence recruiting in a major way. Rose has been promising future recruits that they would have their own practice facility and BYU has now made his word good. Both upgrades and additions are due for completion in the fall of next year, 2016. It wasn't all good news for BYU sports fans last week. It was announced that Charles West, one of BYU football's top signees from a couple of weeks ago, was allegedly involved in an incident that took place before he signed with the Cougars that resulted in his being arrested by Coppell, Texas police. West has been accused of assault with a deadly weapon, a second-degree felony, and possession of marijuana, a class B misdemeanor. West has a story to tell and has retained an attorney to help him tell his side of the incident. Hopefully this will have a nice ending for West as this deal plays out in the Texas justice system. Depending on how that goes, will determine how or if West will have a go on the BYU roster anytime soon. Meanwhile, on the public relations front for BYU this hasn't been a good year for good press. Remember "Sock Gate" and alleged improper benefits. That faded away quickly. Then in December a UFC fight broke out between the Cougars and Memphis. Here's hoping that this latest incident doesn't end up being a made for television movie. Spaghetti Strategy Working for Rose and BYU Two weeks ago BYU was stuck in fourth place in the West Coast Conference basketball standings with their NCAA tournament hopes sinking fast. Dave Rose had two proven players in Tyler Haws and Kyle Collinsworth, but this team was lacking a post presence, a defensive presence and rebounding from anyone not named Collinsworth. Then Rose decided that something had to change. He knew those areas of concern existed for the entire season, but he couldn't find a way to correct it. Then beginning against LMU, he went to his Spaghetti Strategy. That means he went down his bench and started throwing seldom used players against the wall to see what would stick. What stuck to the wall of woes for BYU this season was Josh Sharp, Frank Bartley, Ryan Andrus.and finally Corbin Kaufusi. Those four players have emerged and made BYU a better team. They haven't made the Cougars a great team and BYU's chances of making it as an at large selection to the NCAA tournament are still slim to none. But at least the free fall into irrelevance has been halted for the time being. Rose going to Sharp as a starter the last three games is a genius coaching move. Of course leaving Sharp at the end of the bench for the first 27 games, indicates anything but coaching genius. It was Rose who told us Kaufusi reminded him of Hakeem Olajuwon before the season began. The 6-10 freshman convert from football is a long way from Olajuwon, but he has at least progressed to the Greg Ostertag stage the last few games. BYU's 82-60 win over the Gaels of Saint Mary's on Thursday was a pasting of a team that has always been pasta al dente to the Cougars. Saint Mary's has always been a club that is hard for BYU to chew on since they joined the WCC. That is what made BYU's marinara mauling and pesto pummeling of the Gaels so fun to watch. The key was defense, especially in the post on SMC's outstanding center Brad Waldow. Rose used Kaufusi, Luke Worthington, Ryan Andrus and even Isaac Neilson to hold down the league's best inside player. Throw in some torrid outside shooting from BYU guards and the shellacking was official. On Saturday, Pacific was anything but a patsy for the first 30 minutes. It took a scoring surge late by BYU to pull away with a 84-69 victory. The Cougars are now 20-8 on the year and 10-5 in WCC play which puts them in sole possession of third place.
