[QUOTE="DrJacket, post: 154564, member: 913"] This is in no way an attempt to speak for CPJ. This is my analysis. I haven't asked him about this specific issue, nor will I anytime soon. I can make 2 observations about him, though: * He has been down this road too many times to not have a feel for how he likes to handle these situations. There's no guess work with him. When, in his judgment, a student-athlete has become a sustained burden on team chemistry he will let that kid go. However, only after due process and repeated violations (unless maybe in situations where even a first violation is of a nature that automatic expulsion/dismissal is basically out of his hands). He is not naive about the effects of a "bad apple" being left in the barrel. * However, you are only a "bad apple" once you have repeatedly shown that you can't learn from your mistakes and do what it takes to hold your place on the team. What folks don't get to hear are the times when CPJ has worked to keep a kid from kicking himself off the team. How he meets with them about grades/attendance when those are about to mess them up. He doesn't want to lose anyone he has decided to offer a scholarship. When CPJ lets someone go, they have already effectively let themselves go and left him little choice. [/QUOTE]
