Agree to disagree.   Q was a walking problem for the staff.   I am amazed by some perspectives people have on this.  You make it sound like Red didn't want to deal with a guy who occasionally skipped class.   I mean again it's been previously discussed in a number of threads.  
1.  He literally stopped going to class for 3 months. So at that time would have been academically ineligible anyway. 
2. He had brought people who were not students to live in his apartment. 
3. Was openly disrespectful to Red AND other staff.
4. Was said he was disruptive in the locker room and practice. 
5. If true, not sure if this can or cannot be confirmed but if he sabotaged a game that is also beyond crazy.  Again not sure if that is proven.

You absolutely don't make exceptions or excuses for a guy like that on a "team sport ".  Blaming Red is just expanding your frustrations overall.   Is Red to blame for a number of issues?  Absolutely.   I am not absolving him as HC overall how he, his staff and players have performed.   He needs to own it but let's not blame Red for things that really should not be placed at his feet.  As an additional reminder, immediately after Syracuse he was so radioactive he ended up at Mcneese State.   I will repeat that.  He transferred to Mcneese State.  Not Duke, not Arizona,  not Connecticut,  not any even remotely decent program. 
That all said if he has changed his life around and has matured then being neutral that is a good thing for the young man.
