Correct, for those that want source(s).
While ACL injuries can occur by a variety of mechanisms, low-energy, noncontact injuries are most common, accounting for approximately 70 percent of ACL tears [2]. Such noncontact injuries may be amenable to prevention and substantial research has been performed to elucidate the biomechanics of noncontact ACL tears and the most effective interventions to prevent them ... https://www.uptodate.com/contents/an...ears%20%5B2%5D.
This doesn't mean the practice contact didn't contribute to the injury, but to use it as an example of bad coaching just doesn't hold water. There are plenty of other cases to be made against Coach Des, but this isn't one of them.
I did not mean it as a jab to the coach. I was kind of joking because of what BWK said earlier in the year about the teams not beating up on each other during the season making them soft. I am really sorry this injury happened to Ben when it seemed that he was the answer at QB. Sorry if it offended anyone, I am rooting for Des.
