Pretty sure we can. we did it with Wesley Johnson. Only offer the letter of release if he agrees not to go to x school.
For Ham to talk directly with any school right now, ISU has to issue "permission to contact" letters to said school. So if he is speaking directly with coaches as the article says, then ISU has OK'd it.
I have a hard time blaming anyone for such nitpicky things when there choices are so public. I'm sure that I would think twice about how I explained the personal choices I make on a daily basis if I knew that the reasoning I gave for my choices were going to be discussed by others ad nauseum.
This reminds me of coaches who slap each other on the back and say what a great guy and great coach the competing coach is. It gets said so often that you question the sincerity of the statement. I seldom believe it...
Why does it matter what reason he gives? I could care less what the reason is.
Unless of course, it's because he hated the coaching staff.......
Yep, every player that leaves is a ****. I mean, look how many players we have that stick it out all 4 years. There's Diante, Boozer, and, um, .............did I say Diante?
My source was wrong, maybe I should have phrased it differently, but it was a possibility based on the source. Happy?
Like I said earlier, what's wrong with giving the "It just isn't working out for me here at ISU and I'm going to exercise my other options" line? It would have been much closer to the truth and he wouldn't have alienated the fans in the process.
No one is happy. But credibilty took a major hit with the source being wrong.
It's not that different from a reporter getting bad info from a source. People now naturally lower their respect for that reporter and are much less likely to believe them next time around.
Who cares if he alienates a fanbase at a school he no longer attends?
You're right, it would have been closer to the truth, and it would have also been more negative for the program's reputation. It immediatelys raises the follow up question of why weren't things working out?
I agree with KG here, I would rather hear the rumor, and find it to be false later, than to never hear it period.
