But she was still part of the team. It's not like she just showed up the following year out of the blue and ruined a fine, well tuned machine.
The scapegoating of Diamond reminds of what it's like when someone quits their job, and is immediately blamed for everything that goes wrong at their old company because it's convenient.
Im not blaming her but she wasnt really able to disrupt the dynamics of that was the case... she was limited to certain things along with the fact Massengale, Izzy, and Burdick where there to keep them inline. I seriously doubt a fight would of happened between TC and Jaime or at least they would of kept it old school had those three been there OR if someone had the leadership skills like those three. That much I really believe... there was no leadership to reign things in when they were getting out of hand and the coaches cant always be around to stop things from happening. Thats where the leadership of players have to step up and unfortunately didnt. Athletes know a lot more than coaches before things happen! I know that myself first hand coaching high school athletes! Everything falls back on the coach and a coach has to be in tune with their athletes but lets not Ben mistakes athletes know things 9/10 before the coach does when it comes to misconduct!
