Every time I hear a coach talk about an injured player's progression, they always seem to say "ahead of schedule". I've never heard a coach say a player was behind schedule. While I like hearing the recovery is ahead of schedule, it seems odd that that would be the case all the time. Is "the schedule" too conservative or is "ahead of schedule" a euphemism for "I'm not going to give you any real details"?
