NO
Nike sponsors schools because when the school performs highly, nike gets exposure...exposure=money spent on nike goods (often school paraphernalia)...so if a school's players are riding the pine injured, and the team doesn't perform well, how is that good for nike?
You seem to think that nike has some magical injury preventing technology that they are willingly choosing not to use, and would do so at the behest of coach K. I think that's absurd.
Athletes get injured. They get injured in nike shoes, adidas shoes, clown shoes. If there was a technique they knew about which was demonstrated to reduce injury without impacting performance, why wouldn't they already be using it?
Clown Shoes? I dunno. I'm not sure I've ever heard/seen anyone get injured with one of these:
