[QUOTE="alentrekin, post: 392124, member: 2909"] It's a pretty well known phenomenon in pro baseball. Scouts and front office stake their rep on a guy, pay out a huge signing bonus and that guy is promoted. It can often result in a guy being promoted above his level. From a behavioral econ perspective, it's clearly promoting a sunk cost. The same would apply to college coaches who have made commitments to players (however soft/implied) or representations to the staff. It's funny to me that there are threads about FIRE Coach X! where fallibility is a given. But that's somehow out of bounds when we talk about a kid like Jay (until he's Jemea and one coach overrules). [/QUOTE]
