Actually Pemsl was much worse. He played in one game for them (UMKC) in early November then sat out every game for 4 weeks until he came off his deathbed to play 16 minutes against ISU then promptly announced he was shutting it down for the rest of the season. I'm not sure the game was even over when he made the announcement.Isn't that pretty much what Pemsl did last year? This is fun; like an annual tradition for them.
EDIT and Correction: They had already announced on November 27th that his season was over and that he was having season ending surgery in December, but he showed up at the game as a big surprise even though he was supposedly done for the season.
"Cordell's procedure is to remove hardware near his knee from a previous surgery when he was in high school," said McCaffery. "It was hoped this procedure could wait until the end of the season, but is now determined the hardware removal is necessary before he will be able to return to the court.
"I have been attempting to play through some chronic irritation caused by the hardware during preseason practice, but after consulting with our training staff it is determined that the best course of action is to correct the problem before returning to the court. Although I am disappointed that I will be unable to help the team on the court this season, I am confident in my teammates and will do everything I can to be a good teammate from the sidelines."
"Before returning to the court" Too funny.
