Being a hardass doesn't do anything but hurt. You don't want to develop a reputation of making people jump through hoops to get their release under these circumstances. Even something as simple as dictating that the recruit meet with the new coach can cause resentment in the matter of "they think they own me" type thinking. Not only that, but you demand I meet with the new coach before granting my release, I'm not going in their with the attitude that I really care what this guy has to say or ask. I'm pretty sure it's in the recruits best interest to go through a one on one with the new coach before making their decision anyway and dictating it would make no positive difference.
