I think it's a bit of both bad luck and poor coaching. That's just pure bad luck and hopefully he's okay long term. I don't think conditioning is really the problem, but guys get hurt WAY more when they're unsure of what to do. Some bad luck, some bad coaching not stabilizing the situation, some bad player evaluation (Reiff signing, Lowe and Wheatley trades, etc). The bad news in that is that it's not an EASY fix, as they need multiple pieces.
