I received a copy of the e-mail floating around cyberspace regarding Asha Wilkerson.

This situation is brutal.

Even if the player could not make the conditioning time, or would not have been recruited by the current coaching regime, there is no excuse for this situation.

Think about it . Why would you tell a player up front that you will not coach her, or not give her playing time, and that she would be better off leaving school immediately? All this was said before the conditioning test.

The coach should work with her by playing her and getting her into playing shape. Help her to succeed. Wouldn't this be a good way to be a "person for others".

Not being the coach who recruited Asha is absolutely NO reason for this type of behavior. The coach is an employee of SCU. As an employee, she is bound to behave in a manner that SCU would like, and she is bound by the contractural obligations (in this case a scholarship offer) that SCU representatives made to Asha.

SCU's "new" and "businesslike" focus on winning looks like it may result in an athletic program more like ones that it would not like to emulate.

What is it they say about dead fish rotting from the head first? If the AD is a "change agent", is this the type of change we really need?
