Is he playing a hurt player to punish him? Would he be doing the same thing had Toliver broke it during a drill? I think a better punishment would be to just run him all practice. Allowing him to play is no punishment.

Miles never said it was punishment. That was the OP. I think Miles just said he is not going to get out of practicing or performing because he made a bone-head mistake. I'm sure his punishment will come elsewhere. But Miles, like most good coaches, will keep that in house and not let us be privy to it. But hate on, haters.

You punish in an attempt to teach.

Toliver having to play through the pain, having to try and catch the ball with a cast, getting reminded every time he fails to perform as a result and having to run the extra spints will absolutely achieve this goal. The guy is going to come out of this Spring practice understanding that his "minor" action could have "major" consequences.

It seems you don't understand the purpose of punishment.
