A health issue will keep Liberty Flames head coach Hugh Freeze from being on the sidelines as his team takes on the 22nd-ranked Syracuse Orange on Saturday, but it won't stop him from coaching during the game.
According to Stephen Bailey of Syracuse.com, Freeze will work from a hospital bed in the coach's booth. The 49-year-old underwent surgery on Aug. 16 after a "potentially life-threatening strand of staph infection entered his bloodstream" and worsened the pain in his back caused by a herniated disk.
Bailey noted Freeze is most comfortable when reclined.
