Thanks for all the great advice guys it really is appreciated.It was a torn labrum for him with pins put in as well so he will be done for the year.What I am getting from talking with the trainer is that the coach does not do redshirts no matter what the reason.So if that is the case is it up to the coach or is up to the my son and us to make that decision?If he refuses what happens if we just have him quit the team,will he lose this year of eligibility?

Great info guys thanks for the help on this..

I have a son playing and he is a junior,he has been injured and will most most if not all of the season.The coach doesn't agree with redshirting him,how does the rules work at the d-3 level with this and is it the coaches decision to make?Thanks for your help
