Would it be wrong to then surmise that his scholarship was going to be pulled? Putting two and two together that’s what I gather from your post. If that is indeed the case it makes his departing announcement even classier.
Yep. It's one of those tough conversations a head coach has to have. But I like Scott's style in letting things play out - he gives the player the time to work it out his way, and never says a word to the media until after the player has made his decision about what he is going to do, and how and to whom he's going to communicate his decision.
Classy handling of a tough situation by the coach, and classy actions by the player. Well done, gentlemen.
Good luck, Caleb!
