Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 3429918, member: 5823"] From the article: [I][B]Players POV[/B]: "Multiple players said they made [U]numerous complaints [/U]individually to Hart, the athletic director." [/I] [I]There were also end-of-season surveys where players said they honestly expressed their opinions of the program. [/I] [B]Hart's POV[/B]: [I]“Anytime we get [U]feedback[/U], we follow up on it, we discuss it, we share it,” [/I] Telling someone "they might as well kill themselves" and some of the other things Mays was alleged to have done is serious, wrong and traumatic. What seems to have been happening though is that this the other player "verbal complaints" were handled in the context of normal "feedback" as in what can we do to improve our program. It should not have been! Something that traumatic should have "immediately" lit a fire that sparked a least a formal written complaint from a student, parent, coach, administrator even the janitor if he happen to hear it. Something like that can't be treated as normal and should not wait until the end of year or after the player has transferred. That's walk out of practice, have Mom and Dad roll up to campus or the coaches residence, call the newspaper, have a lawyer on speed dial, I need a public apology or coach suspension within 12 hours, kind of situation. Quickly dismiss anyone who is telling you to calm down because nothing could be more serious. [/QUOTE]
