In a frustrating development from the Paladin heartland, Graham learned on Friday that his 48 seconds of playing time at the end of the UTC game Thursday night invalidated his opportunity to apply to the NCAA for a medical redshirt year after having been sidelined for the first three months of the season with a neck injury. Had the 48 seconds of playing time come before the injury instead of after, he would be eligible.
When Coach Jackson called the redshirts to go to the scorer's table with just over a minute left in the game Thursday night, he asked Graham if he was sure he wanted to do go in. Graham didn't realize he was asking him if he wanted to give up a fifth year of eligibility in return for 48 seconds on the court.
Nuts.
