Chris Andrews ’09, point guard on the Yale men’s basketball team, is currently sitting out the season after tearing his right ACL in August 2007. Prior to the 2006-’07 season, Andrews suffered an injury to his left ACL, which knocked him out for his sophomore campaign. Now missing his second straight year of basketball, Andrews sat down with Thomas Hsieh to reflect on his experiences and lessons learned.

I remember Chris Andrews coming off the bench in the home game against Harvard and making a big contribution to Yale's win. He drew much praise from the YES-TV announcers, one being Yankee broadcaster John Sterling.

The color announcer, a former coach with New Jersey roots (can't member his name) knew of Chris and his accomplishments in high school. He gave a lot of credit to his high school coach.

Can anyone respond to whether, in view of his sitting out two years, Chris would be eligible for a fifth year, and if so, would he go for it?

When I was working with Chris on this article, he seemed pretty comfortable with where he was at right now. Although he could be eligible for a fifth year if he elects to take time off from school, I think that Chris is going to let his senior year be his final year of college basketball and then move on to other endeavors.
