Agreed, and I should have put that in the original post. Tremendous credit goes to Andre for how hard he worked to improve and how he has become the most important player on our team in his 4th year. I only wish the best for him; if he decides to move on, I hope he finds a place (be it another school or a pro career) where he excels and finds even higher levels of success.philbert said:
I wish him well and wouldn't blame him if he doesn't return next year.
(Note that I wrote "maybe" . . . a guy can hope.)

Per the quote from the official Cal announcement, "'It was a heartbreaking meeting when I informed Andre of the MRI results of his injured ankle,' Cal head coach Mark Fox said.":
There is no way that Fox should have known the result before Kelly. The MRI result is considered Protected Health Information and the health care provider should have been the one telling Kelly and, with Kelly's approval, then they could tell Fox. I'm pretty sure this is a HIPPA breach and if I were Kelly's family, I'd be furious.
Andre could have signed an authorization for his healthcare provider to allow communication with the Cal sports staff. While that is PHI, it's not a HIPAA situation unless a group healthcare plan (like Kaiser, Blue Cross, or the plan sponsor/administrator) divulges this info.calumnus said:HearstMining said:

Absolutely. Fox is not his doctor, he is not the patient. Either he is lying about the above (sounds better than "I was heartbroken when Andre told me the result of his MRI") or this is a major HIPPA and ethical violation.

Yah it shows that kids put so much of their trust in their coaches/athletics program.calumnus said:KoreAmBear said:Andre could have signed an authorization for his healthcare provider to allow communication with the Cal sports staff.

Ok.thanks. Still seems improper for them not to tell Kelly first.

this thread is about Andre Kelly
plenty of other places to post about other things
Kelly was my favorite player, our best player, contributed from day one, improved each year, stuck with Cal, and was having an all-conference season. Great rep for the University.
If we saw the last of him at Cal, I would say his last play on the court was a monster dunk
Thank you Andre for the great run. I've seen every one of your games, and hope you heal fast and 100%.
My guess is Fox is lying.HearstMining said:
