That manager more than likely has some different ideas or a different... system/way of doing things . I wish mentors of these players talk about how this is an opportunity to learn to adapt to the best of their ability. Consequently, when they are sitting in an interview and asked a question about how that individual handles Situations when things go awry, They can lean on their college basketball experience, point to this exact situation, and have a great story to tell. *Yes, I realize I’m talking like a 30 something who’s been through these kinds of things a couple times, hence my mention of mentorship.*

This is just way too logical. Seems obvious, and for those of us that have been through the trenches, we can relate. It's tough for 20 year olds to relate to this, however. There needs to be supporting personnel within the program and the player's family/internal circle that are trusted who can share these examples and experiences.
