We don’t know what happened.  Does Haase have a reputation of not caring about or being hard on players? Coaches don’t generally respond to social media attacks by their players.  They can’t.  So it’s generally a one way street.

Not only that, but coaches really can't publicly discuss team discipline issues either. It is not a court of law, players don't get due process rights, and there is no jury. It is hopefully still a "fair" process but undoubtedly some players would dispute that. Anything a coach says can be used against either the players in question or the coach. As a result, coaches simply can't talk about it. Best case, if the coach did reveal  "what happened" he would be accused on this board of throwing his players under the bus.

“ Best case, if the coach did reveal  "what happened" he would be accused on this board of throwing his players under the bus.”

True.  And rightfully.  It’s just something a coach has to take.  Part of the job. It’s worse today with social media, of course.

I disagree with all of these assertions. Coaches can definitely say that a player "broke team rules" and not be more specific than that. I've seen plenty of them do it at the collegiate level.

Haase clearly had significant issues with THREE DIFFERENT PLAYERS, not just Davis. When it's three players, then I think it's reasonable to assume that the coach is part of the problem.

Don't forget that Cormac Ryan transferred out after the previous season too.
