It was wrong of me for Posting that without being able to reveal where it came from. I won’t recant it though. I trust the one who had first hand knowledge.

Competition at any position is a good thing. As long as the players ego doesn't get in the way, we will be fine.

What is this, NCAA basketball?

That doesn't make it wrong at all. Sources wish to remain anonymous all the time. So long as you show some sort of reputation that the information ends up being true, which in your case usually happens. Last I checked, you're not CNN.

That's interesting. If I understand correctly, CH was cut because he complained about practices length and yet SA followed his advice.

That's normal in in many situations. Discipline first because you must establish control above all, THEN do an analysis of the situation and make a change.

Golf got a bit more expensive, with a heck of a lot more sponsorship options. Will be interesting to see how this (and the new coach / team turnover) affects this year's outing.

Yes, it was more than that but the frustration a lot of players had with SA boiled over during that break.

CH was in SA's dog house starting the week the team returned to school in August. Two separate people told me his fitness level was the issue , at least the primary one, and he was playing catch up the entire first half. ( Each player is given a specific fitness plan - both aerobic and strength- with measurables that they are expected to meet upon their return to school in the fall). I'm told That testing occurs the first week they return to campus.

Whatever the final straw was that led to his dismissal, his fitness issue was a major component. That he was complaining about practice duration is logical, if he was in fact out of shape.
