I like that! Players should have a valid reason for leaving and putting the conversation back on them will better prepare them for life. I think the biggest thing is expectations and managing them. There have been times where I have passed on a player because I realize I won't be able (or even try) to make them happy - sometimes I am not a fit either.Players jump ship all the time. Not a coach's fault if a player isn't happy and wants to leave. However, there is a right way and a wrong way to go about it. That's the biggest issue with society today. If my daughter decided that she wasn't happy, or that she is going nowhere on a team - SHE would call her coach personally. But that's how she was raised.
