i play study hall tight, and (often because i forget to do the required diligence when midterms) as a result, lose players to grades all the time. if i watch it closely, sure, you can cut and close and you *rarely* get burned. but sometimes, you still do. that 5m towards a 2.1, you left yourself at least a 5 or 10% chance of the guy failing out. i do think most coaches put more SH time in, but they just dont want to take the risk. if you sacrifice SH for player growth, you are inherently accepting to tolerate that occasional flunkie.
slyman, its super easy to get sucked into the moment in this game, so i would just suggest you sleep on it and decide if it is really such a travesty, tomorrow. honestly,. that CS response may not be stellar, but its AT LEAST par for the course, and probably a little better. if you've been here 11 years, im sure that deep down, you know that. its the same caliber CS response you've lived with for half a decade or more, so to me, nothing has really changed. hopefully tomorrow you will see it the same way :) if you say, well its just the straw that broke the camels back, i can empathize with that, very easily. but it really does seem to me to be no more than a straw...
