I wish that the higher-ups, those who make the rules, would start to think about the kid. Recruits shouldn't be forced to stay and play for the new coach. They should have the freedom to play where they want. If they go anywhere else, they shouldn't.
Many players select the college based on their relationship with the coach.
For example, if a player committed to Seton Hall under Tommy Amaker, who left for the Michigan job, he should have the right to be recruited again by new Seton Hall coach Louis Orr. If the player doesn't want to play for Orr at Seton Hall, he should be allowed to move somewhere else without being penalized or losing eligibility. They should be able to go elsewhere without penalty. Any freshman player at a school should be allowed to move on to another school without penalty if the coach leaves. Like the high school seniors, many college freshmen selected the school based on the feelings for the coach and his system.
