It makes OUR fanbase look childish. You'll have to forgive us for actually caring about the program. Not sure what type of fan bases would feel differently... Look, if he announced his decision to leave immediately after last season, people would have been bummed, but would have been fine with it. It would have given McLaughlin and the coaches a fighting chance to find a replacement. Even if that didn't materialize, they could have planned for an Evan-less team over the summer. All those reps they ran with him being the focal point in training camp? Someone else would have gotten the work. Maybe Knight gets more time with the first-team and develops faster. By going through training camp and announcing the day before the season opener, he really screwed the team. Short of actually trashing the program in public, I can't imagine a worse way to leave than what he did. If there were exceptional circumstances, people would understand. If a family member became ill in the Fall and he wanted to transfer to a program nearer to home, then fine. If he just decided that his heart wasn't in it and he wanted to give up college basketball to focus on studies, then fine. But neither appear to be the case here. In sum, not all decisions to leave the program are created equal. Some are better taken than others. |
