"Decision being made for him" means the following:
CCM: Quenton, we love you. You've worked hard. You've done well in school. You are everything we want in this program. However, as you know, PT is gonna be hard to come by for you. In fact, you are not in our plans in terms of getting court time. If you'd like a chance to play for your senior year, you might want to go ahead and graduate and then transfer to a smaller school where you'll get some PT. I'll help you in anyway I can, and you know you are always part of a sweet 16 team and part of the UT family.
QC: Thanks, Coach. I wanna play. Can you make a few calls?
CCM: You got, Cheiv.
The Two hug it ou.
Exit.
Finis!
At least that's what our coach said in high school to guys who weren't gonna play (without the transferring part. He just said to those guys: "Hey, you ain't gonna play.").
