Message: [QUOTE="Nick44, post: 5524595, member: 540"] This is wrong. First of all, Gattis is in a coaching role on this team. His job is to help these players maximize their opportunities. This also isn’t high school, these players are not only student athletes, they are PAID EMPLOYEES. If you want the opportunity, money and attention, you have to perform or else you are going to hear about it. Should it be any different if you miss an assignment at work and your boss chews you out? Too many people (and their families) associated with this program depend on this programs success. Fair or not, Rickie didn’t have to take the offer and money that came with the responsibility. Lastly, Gattis yelled at him on the sideline. It’s not like he went in front of a podium or to the media or to social media. Gattis did his job, it probably wasn’t the first time and sadly for Rickie and the rest of us, won’t be the last time. [/QUOTE]
