I've been terminated over the phone, and frankly it was far better than flying 5+ hours from Tahoe to the east coast just to get my walking papers. Having Banker pulled off the road wasn't going to make it easier and having him keep his scheduled visit and then terminate when he got back would have been embarrassing for Banker, the school and likely screwed any shot at the recruit.You were brought up in a fashion wherein you are only able to conduct honest discourse when you are face to face?
