He probably got a quick test done and got a negative result letter. He came to game with parents. Has nothing to do with the team or school. 

The other test was probably given Tuesday and returned Friday. The quick test was probably done Friday. You can be positive on Tuesday and negative on Friday. Rapid tests come back in 15 minutes. Still wasn't the team's fault. 

The thing is, once you're positive, there is a mandatory 10 day quarantine. No questions. No negatively testing out of it. Doesn't matter if you take 15 tests the next day and they are all negative. You are in quarantine status and can't be removed from it. It is a legal quarantine, not a suggestion. Whoever thinks that a negative test means something within 10 days of a positive test was very misinformed. I've known several people in quarantine, spoken to Health Departments and school officials many times. If he was positive, he should have stayed HOME for 10 days (along with his household contacts staying home for 14 days if quarantining separately or 24 days if quarantining together with him). This data is so readily available on school system/TSSAA/health department websites that it is hard to believe that anyone doesn't understand that by now. Anyway -- I'm not even arguing anyway towards the decision in this because the given facts seem all over the place...but just pointing out that a negative test doesn't matter. Bad situation.

Then how do you explain Nick Saban being positive one day then receiving 3 negative test the next 3 days then allowed to coach?

This has also been used in the NFL.  And given that Saban was probably around the entire team and coaches within 48 hours of the first positive, if the guidelines indicated in this thread were used the entire Alabama team should have been isolated.  But the subsequent tests with Saban not showing any symptoms at all - plus I believe a negative test the day or so before, seemed to allude to the fact that the negative result was incorrect.

Nick is the exception to all the COVID rules, apparently. For real. I don't know. I just know that dealing with schools and Tennessee Department of Health and TSSAA - the rules are that a positive test requires a 10 day quarantine. (not an expert, just someone who has read over these rules many times).

    • So much talk about an investigation about student record manipulation and then everything has went silent. Has anyone heard how the investigation is going?
    • Basically what you're saying is schools can basically bully students around and get away with it because they are protected. I agree to a certain extent but when schools decisions to keep knuckleheads on staff starts costing kids careers and a college education there is a problem. Our school system last week had a teacher supposedly push a kid and the parents went to the law and the teacher is suspended. So I wouldn't say that they can just do what they want without liability. This case don't pass the smell test because the coach had already been fired before and she got fired after a year on the job. Sounds like the student was right in this case on the outside looking in because the coach gets fired after one year. How many coaches get fired after one year?? Not many. 
    • Problem with DB football goes beyond coaching. Like Waco said. Thr band is the main focus of their community and school. They have the resources to be a championship level team. Guarantee Ballard or Witten could have them nationally relevant at some point but everyone down to peewee would have to buy in and at DB we all know that would never happen. 
    • I know the RB from OR he’s fast and has good hands. Is good on special teams also. Didn’t want to play defense over to the Ridge.
