Is Judkins really that stupid?

[ABYUFAN]

Did he really just cut a cancer survivor from the team? If the team doesn't win the conference, and win at least win 2 games in the tourney then this is the stupidest decision in the history if BYU... cutting a senior cancer survivor for what? If the person who replaces her is not a starter, then, again, this will go down as a "you can take an idiot from the University of Utah, but you can’t take the idiot out of a Ute.... "

"I was completely blindsided," said Kaufusi, who was diagnosed with stage four non-Hodgkin's lymphoma on Feb. 3, 2011. "I didn't see it coming. (Head coach Jeff Judkins) just kept saying that he thinks this is what's best for the team right now." Contacted Friday morning, Judkins was involved in recruiting meetings and said in an email that he "had nothing to say" about the decision...

She said Judkins also mentioned academics, but she is in good standing with the university... While coming back from the chemotherapy took longer than she thought, she said Judkins and her teammates were supportive of her efforts to get back to the game... "I don't know if he's been thinking about this for a while or not, but I wish he'd done it sooner so I could have found another place to play," said Kaufusi. "I have seven weeks until school starts."

Kaufusi has already been granted a release, and is now faced with deciding whether to just earn her degree from BYU or find a spot on a college roster... "I am not sure what I'm going to do now," said Kaufusi, who is technically still on scholarship at BYU, as she signed paperwork with Judkins and the school at the end of basketball season. "I want to play more than anything in the world. I feel like I'm finally healthy. I feel like I owe myself a solid year of basketball, and I am finally healthy enough to compete."

I don't have a problem with it--she's still on scholarship.

Sno, that's cold blooded. But I agree, especially if Judkins knew she wasn't going to see significant playing time. Basketball rosters are not deep.

Hope the best for her though.
