Here's what FCHRE had to say about kids leaving during his radio interview this past weekend on Sports Reporters. It's not an interview you'd have ever read when he was at UConn.

SC: When a kid says, “I’m leaving,” do you sit down and ask him why, or are you like, “Okay, there’s the door.”
RE: No, you have discussions. What I think what happens is, not everyone is gonna want to to work with your company. You know, when there’s change and when somebody comes in, and there’s things that go on, no everybody’s going to be happy with change. Not everybody’s going to like . . . if there’s accountability, if they’re held to a higher standard. That’s everyday life. That’s what happens in everyday life: When there's change, sometimes it’s tough for people to change, and sometimes people might not like where they’re at on the depth chart. My whole thing is when they come in, I sit down, hear what they say, listen to what they say, and then if they don’t feel like they can be happy in this organization, and they want to move on, then hey, they can do that. The thing is, I don’t think I’m any different than any other coach, any other manager, any other supervisor. If people don’t want to be here, and don’t think that they can be happy being here, you’re gonna have a very tough time of having a very good team because now your chemistry, the camaraderie, isn’t what it’s gonna need to be in order to be successful, and that’s not only in sports, that’s in any organization that you’re involved with."
