@franfraschilla ...and a lot of it is coaches that didn’t evaluate correctly telling kids to find a new home. Be better Fran.

@GoFrogYourself Where do you disagree?

@franfraschilla I bet there is a higher divorce rate from the group that has decided to transfer then those that stay and work through adversity.

@franfraschilla So do these same rules apply when the coaches leave? Meaning the inability to handle adversity?

@franfraschilla I needed a transfer portal in HS🥴

@franfraschilla If a coach recruits an athlete that is not an athletic, academic or character fit with a school, whose fault is it? Many transfers shouldn't have been in that program in the 1st place. There other reasons but unlike coaches they can't leave for money. Slightest adversity me arse.

@franfraschilla Totally agree! Not all education comes from the classroom. More important is learning to cope with the challenges that happens in life.

@franfraschilla Fran, you're correct, but please understand it goes both ways. You were a coach in this business once. Sometimes it's just not a good fit, or things didn't work out. We can leave our jobs if we see or feel conflict; why should they be “forced” to stay.

@franfraschilla Let’s go back to players sitting out one year when they transfer! Today’s players seek to think any adversity means they should move on to something that is perceived as easier. No consideration to team, school, fans etc - it has to change!

@franfraschilla @HoopsWeiss Though a believable narrative, that isn't what is happening This is the AAU generation. They switched teams almost weekly from the time they were elementary school kids to win, get a different coach or for playing time. Why would they change now It is the norm. Even in the NBA

@franfraschilla Fran, big fan of yours, so please take this question with the sincerity and curiosity with which it's asked: how do you square the opinion above with coaches (like Chris Beard today) jumping from one school to the next because the grass seems greener over there.

@franfraschilla They are looking for better opportunities. Kind of like say Shaka Smart who was on his way out at Texas so he left his players high and dry for a better opportunity?

@franfraschilla Evidence required.

@franfraschilla #1 as a former D1 athlete you couldn’t be more wrong. There’s adversity and then there’s straight up humiliation, oppression and deceitful intentions these coach’s have had for DECADES. This gives some power back to the players and if you disagree you’re clueless.

@franfraschilla Coaches have chased away non performing players for decades. Should be Ok for over performing players to upgrade. The days of a coach or university owning a player for 4 years are over. @KingJames has showed the pathway. Bobby Knight days are gone... New Kind of Leadership.

@franfraschilla Where are you looking? These are the top 2% of athletes in the country. They didn’t get to the NCAA through being baby-whiners. Trust that they know something about the program/ school fit for them.

@franfraschilla And a lot of it is kids listening to AAU coaches and parents thinking they are better than they are and don’t know what it takes at the next level.

@franfraschilla Old white dudes being upset about the life choices amateur teenage athletes are making. This has always been and will continue to be a bad, out of touch take.

@franfraschilla IMO portal as a whole is not good for college sports. Commit to school not coach. I have to admit that my daughter wishes the portal was in place in 2011. Her coach turned out to be a two faced jerk and wouldn’t release her, so she transferred to NAIA.I’ve now argued both sides

@franfraschilla A former head coach doesn’t like that players have the same freedom that coaches do, I’m shocked
