Message: [QUOTE="pfister1, post: 1584192, member: 285"] I suspect the point is that there was no reason for him to consider transferring until we fell on our sword. That said, does anyone really think it was JB's decision when and where to self impose? I mean I am sure he was consulted but that seems like it would be a higher level strategic decision in the University's and Athletic Department's dance with the NCAA, not a "basketball program" decision. Last point, while I feel bad for Rak that he had the opportunity to play in the tournament forfeited. I feel like the University and Athletic Department, Coach etc, etc. owed a much higher obligation to the larger community (school, athletic department, fanbase etc.) in making a decision on self imposing than it owed to Rak alone. The idea that they schemed to prevent transfers is flippin ridiculous. If you said they schemed to minimize the impact of the coming sanctions...well that I can't argue with. [/QUOTE]
