Simple math... if Fortney is allowed to have surgery on his knee compete against Brock, Tui doesn’t play as a true Freshman when Brock gets Hurt, and Tui plays a senior year with Neuheisel after 2001.
Which means no Gilby and definitely no Tyrone Willingham....
“When Fortney wanted to have immediate knee surgery in the middle of last season, to begin a nine-month rehabilitation, Lambright exploded, according to Fortney, saying: “If you mess with me this season, I’ll mess with you next season,” only in language more profane.
For those who know Lambright, his attitude was not surprising, nor atypical for most coaches in that position. The first three priorities for big-time programs such as Washington’s are to win, win and win. The fourth is to look good doing it. Somewhere down the list is the welfare of individual athletes.
Since Fortney’s decision won’t help Washington win, Lambright was upset. Fortney shouldn’t have been surprised: If Lambright didn’t have a high concern for Fortney’s welfare when he was hurting, why would Lambright be concerned after the kid returned to health?
Lambright erred badly when he unloaded the “disloyalty” bomb in public. When Fortney realized he wasn’t going to be given a shot at dislodging Huard - remember, the Husky tradition is that a starter can’t lose a job via injury - he understood that the coaches broke a team covenant. And they broke it over the head of a player who took one for the team the previous fall.”
