A-10 Roster Turnover

Because I'm on the Spider board...when I see something said that really doesn't make much sense no matter what the topic I'll chime in. Just so happened that this one was about Rhoades. Might be Mooney next time.
I cHEcKeD wITh rIVaLs, and SPidER23RAMNATION_HIghLanDerNation23Squared was already in use, or so they say.
Perfectly ethical. It's his job and his players who have been playing for him apparently really like him as a coach. Could it be that maybe the player decided he wanted to stick with his coach? Well, this particular kid had high P5 offers all over the place. Naah...never happens.

You commit to the school, not the coach. If the coach leaves, players certainly should have the option to find another program that suits them but not be able to follow the coach. But I expect it’s easy to justify as a fan when the coach is now yours.
Maybe most think that this is true, but many commit in fact because of the coach who they want directing their athletic development in their particular sport.
I would think that in this case it would be perfectly normal to follow the coach. While maybe true at UR, but not elsewhere is everyone is in it for an education at one particular school, particularly those who believe they can compete at the next level and it is their desire to get there.
On April 28, 1967, boxing champion Muhammad Ali refuses to be inducted into the U.S. Army and is immediately stripped of his heavyweight title. Ali, a Muslim, cited religious reasons for his decision to forgo military service. Not many professional boxers claim the argument they don't believe in fighting but the Supreme Court overturned his conviction for draft evasion in 1971.
Who are we to chain an 18-21 year old kid to anything? You advocate taking the freedom of choice from a kid? Hmmm.
Everything and everyone is fair game for this gold poster.Not affiliated with UR; fair game.
Try baiting me. Won't work. Enjoy your long weekend. Doesn't matter what color hat we wear.
Pretty cute kid though. We get joy wherever we can get it and this is pure joy.

Hey man it was just a joke because you had just responded that same way to someone else. How can you criticize me for saying that when you yourself said the same thing?
Very condescending in your answer too.
A) I clearly stated that a coaching change should permit a kid to reconsider his school choice.
B) There are 350+ other schools to potentially go to
C) I don’t work for the NCAA, so I’m not chaining anyone. Scholarships are a privilege, not a right.
Yeah, that went out the window a long time ago. Even big timers like Vitale and BIlas say the coach is more important than the school.
Again, don't like the message, bash the messenger. Learn from the messenger. He means no harm.
I remember a lot of people weren't happy when Sanders (?) followed Wainwright here. Didn't get it at the time but I do now.
Oh hey this isn't bashing. He posted the same exact message to Ulla. I just copy+pasted as a joke.
Both boards have seemed surreal to me the last couple weeks. I have no idea what long time posters will say next.
It's the off-season. We all are jonesin for basketball and weirdness reigns everywhere. It will be going on until November. Happens every year.
No worries man. I just wanted to have a little bit of fun in a copy+paste response
I believe it was Tim Mayes ... but same thing.
I don't like to see a player break a commitment to follow a coach to a new school, but I get it. the coach is a huge part of the commitment. you want to play for a guy who wants you and who you believe will use you properly.
