Using your logic no school should take him, which amounts to "blackballing" or at least coersion. For what purpose -- kids change their minds all the time?

Coach Meyer needs to move on and not make the situation worse than need be. JMO
Coach Myers has moved on. These are my points and I am not speaking for Coach Myers. I have stated that point before so I will do so again...And the kid will have no shortage of schools interested in him. He will easily find a place for his talent. One should never doubt that...At the same time there is a right and a wrong way to do things...I think people should take the high road and avoid making enemies or creating bad blood...Of course, as we see littered across the basketball landscape, there are people that could give a flying whatever about how they do things and will do whatever they wish as long as it gets them players...There is never 100% consensus...He will have schools that want him and his choices will be fine...

But then my perspective is clearly shaded from having been in a business in which you have very true "real" friends and which people rarely can trust anyone...You learn how to keep your head down and avoid getting in the crossfire as much as possible...I think the way this business operates is very different from how normal businesses do for the most part. And my perspective reflects that without question...
