I'm not so sure. I think unless you really know the details, we should be a little careful to make judgement, particularly when our situation with some guys recently who "left" the program could be interpreted in different ways.

I rarely defend anything even closely related to Dook, but in this case, I believe it's warranted based on what we know. What is Coach K supposed to do? He gave Thornton an opportunity and he didn't play as well as the coach would have liked and doesn't believe he will probably be as good as another star recruit coming on board.  Is he supposed to give Thornton the nod again this year (at the team's expense) just because he reclassified?

Based on what I read, this doesn't seem to be a case where Coach K is forcing a kid out of the program. It seems to be more of a situation where the kid (and father) see the writing on the wall and believe it would be better for him long term to play on a different team who needs him on the floor more.
