Injury ends prep career for UT softball signee

Tom,
That's a shame for the kid. I read the article, her coach said "It all comes back to the metal cleats," Riverdale Coach Jeff Breeden said. "Before the injury, I liked us having them. But if these guys are doing a pop-up slide, they better not pop up. When her cleat hung, it broke the bones instead of rolling the ankle."

I'm going to disagree with her coach and say that this one comes down to poor coaching on how to use metal spikes.
