I really hate this type of revisionist, result-based bullshite thinking. It's rampant.
All coaches encourage players to play through injury. That's the culture. Medically it's not right but it's widespread. The question is "is it possible or is it not possible (to play)?"
If it's possible, you play, if not you sit. For every one that gets a worse injury like Tua did, there are tens of others that you don't even know are hurt and you'll never know unless they tell you. You would've be able to field a damn team if everyone that was hurt sat.
So how do you go to a group of men and say this guy's injury may not even be as bad as yours but you have to play and he doesn't? You can't build a winning team like that.

Last week some of you were calling out Tua for limping after the game. Now you are bitching at Saban for playing him.
Make up your minds.
Saban is no more to blame than the two players who made the tackle. The doctors cleared the kid and Tua wanted to play.
No other coach in the country would have done a single thing different.
