It’s been a busy year for SMU basketball trainer Warren Young.

In his 18th season on the Hilltop, Young had to help several SMU players with injuries throughout the 2017-18 season. First it was Akoy Agau, suffering from a knee infection that cost him a handful of games at the beginning of the season.

Then there were sprained ankles suffered by Everett Ray and Ethan Chargois. Ray then broke his foot shortly after Jarrey Foster tore his ACL. Then Shake Milton has been dealing with a broken bone in his right hand and senior Ben Emelogu has been hampered by a right wrist injury.

And those are just the injuries that the team has revealed to the public.
With all that extra work, former SMU guard Nic Moore — himself the beneficiary of Young’s work during his black-and-blue SMU career — thinks that Young should get an award from the American Conference for his work this season, as he tweeted on Tuesday.

Based off a tweet from Monday night, Young would just settle for a quieter 2018-19 season. Tim Jankovich, too, one assumes.
