What are the red shirt rules in basketball? I know in football freshman can play in 4 games now and still redshirt. Looks like basketball should allow for a freshman to play in a few games and still redshirt.
Basketball has different rules than football. To get a redshirt a player can not play at all. They can however play in the exhibition games.
The medical hardship waiver can be used when the condition is fully documented, the player did not participate in the last 50% of any games, and they played in no more than 30% of the games. Fulkerson will get a MHW. The team applies to the league office and they can appeal to the NCAA if it's denied. The application for a medical hardship waiver doesn't have to be made immediately after the injury (or medical condition), so the schools may not make an official announcement for some time. Fulkerson for example is a junior academically. The application to extend his eligibility could actually be made a year from now.
