Well, yes, I guess that's the conventional wisdom on this board.

I don't know the timing of what was supposed to happen or what was discussed between the two or what instructions were given to Coach McDonald. None of us does.

But I do know that he was demoted - period - halfway into the season.

And I know that he was very upset by what happened to him - he clearly felt he was treated unfairly.

And, I know that the demotion did not change anything offensively - as far as I could tell at least.

Part of being a good administrator or manager is having the ability to foresee the ramifications of your decision making. And, a big part of being an administrator is to prevent upheaval within the program or workforce - especially when the contemplated move will not change anything.

This situation should not have occurred. It does not seem that the head coach truly contemplated either the lay of the land or the likely ramifications of the decision that was made.

I may be wrong, but that's how I see it.
