[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid at SJC now. Not in the baseball program but knows one of the boys who transferred out. The story going around, apparently fueled by the coach is that the players kicked out of the program were selfish, not loyal or dedicated to the team, not willing to put in the hard work, not SJC material. If its true they were kicked out because they wouldn't pay the coach for his side business, then his comments are slanderous. These are kids and a former coach painting them like this is not just unfair but also could hurt their futures.[/quote]

My daughter is good friends with one of the players mentioned in the article. He also happens to be a talented basketball player. I can only speak about him but he's a quiet, funny all around nice kid who has good friends on both the basketball team and baseball team. Any student who plays two sports at SJC is putting in the hard work and then some. He was never disloyal. From what my daughter says he just wanted flexibility to play in a few important high profile summer baseball events and that made a huge difference in his college options. It sickens me to hear that the story going around is that he's selfish or not willing to work. [b]Even worse if the coach is fueling it. These are still children. How is that getting lost in all of this?[/b]  [/quote]

The bolded above exactly.[/quote]
