Grant's advantage with Dane is the relationship with Damon as a former teammate. He will absolutely go through dad, until dad tells him his son would welcome direct communication. Is that an antiquated way of doing things? Perhaps. But even if you put aside the Grant-Goodwin relationship, remember that Damon Goodwin is a coach himself, and I think you can safely assume that he has a professional appreciation for coaches who go about it the right way, even if that is old school in your book. So I'm just saying that in this case, for what little it is worth, Grant would be a fool to not use the advantages he has, and those are his integrity, character and personal relationships. Texting blind or calling cold and unsolicited is what you do if you don't have these advantages.
