This is from the ESPN article that Ambitiouspear posted above..
"We spent a lot of time recuperating after surgery with Brian," Paul Zoubek said. "There were a lot of low moments, a lot of low moments, but he didn't want to redshirt. He wanted to play."
It was Z's decision to continue, not the staff's. Read the article, he continuously talks about his drive to compete and prove himself. I've loved Zoubs for the 4 years he has been here, always waiting for that year when he would play significant minutes. It has been awesome to finally see that happen, we aren't playing in tonight's game without Z's contributions. We aren't even playing in the Elite 8 without Brian. Thanks Z for the 4 years, best of luck in your future. (NBA bound, and he's earned it)
