We all know that recruits sign to play for THE COACH, not the school. Schools don't recruit players, coaches do. Now with the liberal transfer rules, if the coach leaves, the players have the option of leaving also. You signed to play for a particular coach (and their staff). There's nothing to say that the returning players will want to play for the incoming coach who they don't know, nor have any relationship with, or that the new coach will want them.

It's a two way street. Kara Lawson and Kim Mulkey purged their roster when they took over their respective programs. There were players there that they didn't want. Plus, they needed to make room and scholarships available for the new players they wanted to bring in.

Don't think new incoming coaches have never told a returning player that they would be better served (and happier) at another school. If I like my coach and he/she leaves, why wouldn't I want to go with them? :rolleyes: I never blame players for leaving if their coach does. When the coach and the staff leaves, the program they committed to and signed up for no longer exists at that school. :confused:
