Judgment of coaches and player transfers...there really aren't any surprises anymore. It's just what happens.
- The mass exodus at UW cracks me up. All the players and fans blaming everything on Hopkins. The same coach who 2 years ago was back-to-back P12 COY who everyone loved in Seattle. All of a sudden he can't do anything right. But the players (who suck) don't have any accountability!
- Cronin was one bucket away from being Haase-like. Losers of their last 4, including an embarrassing loss to OSU in the P12 tourney. They eek out a win against Mich St or they end the season with a 5 game losing streak, following a 19-12 season last year. I can tell you, no one would have been calling Cronin a great coach. 5 games and a few weeks later, he's the hottest thing going.
Haase needs to win. Plain and simple. All the team bickering and fan criticism goes away when you win. No coach that I know of can "control his team" without winning anymore. Players have too much leverage these days and especially given the opportunities to play professionally overseas, if they don't get playing time they will move on. I don't blame them or the coach. Daejon will take his game to UW (or somewhere) and will play a ton. It will be better for him.
If you don't have a good season, players are going to transfer. Heck, even if you have a good season, some players will probably transfer. I'm not aware of any coach who keeps all their players anymore. It's become part of the deal.
