Mike Elliott (Head of Medical) Leaves Utah Over Mitchell Dispute

Probably inevitable (for both sides) after that. More surprising that it happened now, though, and not earlier.
 
Someone had to be fired. Besides losing trust in his players, the whole Mitchell fiasco messed with the team and likely cost them a playoff game.

If they did anything besides blindside the entire team right before game time it probably would have been resolved, but that’s what they did.
 
Yet another sign that we have one to three years before all the organizational shake-ups coalesce into a serious rebuild—from players to staff.

The issue wasn’t the diagnosis to me… it was blind siding the team and also the ego I think was involved. Donovan might have been a diva but he also brought in his own trainers for a reason. He either didn’t believe what they were doing was working or didn’t feel he was being heard.

They didnt blindside the team man. Mitchell got himself cleared through his own medical team that leaked it to the media over the chain of command for clearing that stuff.

I'm not @oneye, but this is Mitchell being extremely power hungry. Elliott was proven right almost immediately and it probably led to Mitchell having a diminished off-season in terms of ability to train at 100%.

I can believe how much of the BS yall have bought. Mitchell and his "team" where the ones who blindsided the team.

This is like saying we should trust people's mom's on facebook about covid. Let the medical professionals do their ****ing jobs.

Yes they did. Mitchell wasn't even on the injury report. They went through walkthrough and preparation thinking he was available. If it was even a possibility that he could have missed the game, the team should have known that and he should have been on the injury report. It's technically against league rules to do what the Jazz did and not disclose an injury on the injury report.

If they failed to communicate to the players/coaches that he might not play until right before the game, that is a huge **** up and on them. You think Mitchell's team is the one sending the injury reports through Jazz PR? Yeah right, ridiculous.

You think Mitchell doesnt have the power to clear himself off the injury report if he presses the right people? Have you see what is being done for him organizationally? Dont kid yourself. This wasnt the Miller's Utah Jazz were things are organized and done with clear power structures.
