Chicago Sun-Times reporter Tina Akouris wrote in her Straight To The Hoop blog this afternoon that Bolingbrook Raiders girls basketball coach Tony Smith said freshman Morgan Tuck will not miss the rest of the season due to her right knee injury.
But coach Tony Smith wants to set the record straight about one thing in particular: she is suffering a setback, but she's not done for the season.
The rest of the Straight To The Hoop post confirms what The Brook Blog reported on Monday but with less detail.
Two points of contention: one, Smith has no way of knowing that Tuck is or isn't out for the season until the results of the MRI are known later this week; two, our post on Monday didn't say that Tuck would miss the rest of the season. I reported that she could and may miss the rest of the season.
Hopefully, Morgan is only out of action for a few days. The point is, who knows?
Make it three points of contention and the one the readers probably won't care about. Where did Straight To The Hoop learn of this injury? Did a little birdie fly into the Sun-Times newsroom and chirp chirp chirp about Tuck's right knee?
It seems as if Tuesday's post (19 hours later) was written to contradict what The Brook Blog reported on Monday. There wasn't any other report on the internet that said Tuck was injured. But we aren't shown the common courtesy of a link. Shady.
