I'd be more concerned with our talent evaluation if we found ourselves routinely pulling scholarships for on-court performance.

I don't think this happens nearly as much as you seem to think. The more common scenario is a heart-to-heart between player and coach about playing time which leads to a mutual parting. I can't think of a single instance where UD (or another school) told a player with zero off court issues that he wasn't welcome back next year despite the player wanting to stay. I'm not saying it's never happened - just saying I can't think of a situation and it seems pretty rare.
As for your comment about not recalling us ever losing a recruit because of it - I have 2 responses.
1.) Because I don't think we have actually done it
2.) I don't think we ever know why a recruit ultimately chose another school
