There are a lot of assumptions Most extremely negative regarding the disciplining of Pierce and the expected aftermath or even the prelude to the disciplining. Unless someone knows the actual violation of the team rules which led to the disciplining I am not sure where this speculation leads.
That is AG might have a lower opinion of Pierce than AM's opinion when he recruited him, Or he and AM might have the same opinion that he is a project who could be a big asset to the team two or three years down the road. I remember on this message board that there were a large number of posters who were writing off big Steve as he sat through his first year. Dayton is not going to get the polished seven footer and if there is one position where luck in development (no guarantees) it is in the big center position, The potential benefits to the team if the recruit becomes a good player out weighs the a lot more negatives that might make a coach back away from a guard or short forward.
Further the reason for the disciplining would presumably be a violation of an AG rule. This would have nothing to do with AG's opinion of Pierce but we could if we are so inclined to think negatively of AG believe he disciplined Pierce much more harshly than he would TL for violation of that rule.
