This was discussed at length here a year ago. Most people give Donahue props for being frank with Hicks that Penn was rebuilding, that he would have to play team ball and have less of a leading role and that it might be in his interest to graduate and find a better platform for his game. He did just that and incurred some tough love from Pitino along the way.
There was more of an argument here about just how good a player he was---you and I agree on that. Hicks was a highly superior talent who, unfortunately, got no coaching at Penn.
