I get that Coaches need to have my way or the highway approach. There is honesty in this, and I respect that. But does anyone else have an issue with this statement.
Kostas came anyway after being told some version of this right? But now he is leaving because he has seen and experienced Grant and his approach.
My point is there is being tough and hard and disciplined on kids. But with 19 years olds, you need to tough - but not so in your face about it.
We just lost a potential key cog. I surely hope AG knows what he is doing and the respect to keep guys here. Not blaming him, but I do have to shrug my shoulders and wonder about his approach.
Edit: I posted before reading the "professional opp" post. So that's a slightly different issue. But I also beleive KA needs 1 or 2 years in college. But hey, everyone has an opinion ~
