Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 2169603, member: 7511"] First off, the coach has an obligation to honor the contract of the LOI, or she opens up the university to a lawsuit, not to minimize the terrible publicity that would result. Secondly, you've made a subtle change in your argument from a player not, "fitting into a team's long term plans" which implies basketball ability, and your revision citing "meaningful contributions" using Tierney as an example. Your second argument implies attitude and effort, which UCMiami also cited a few posts earlier. I completely agree that if a player becomes a distraction to a team by virtue of a bad attitude and lack of effort, a coach needs to do everything they can to encourage the player to go elsewhere. But if we're just talking about a player's basketball ability, the coach recruited that player so the coach needs to own their mistake and make the best of it. [/QUOTE]
