If a coach suggests to a player that they'd be better off elsewhere and the player says "nah, I like it here", coaches generally honor that.

Calipari ran off a couple his first year at UK to make room for Wall, Cousins, and co. He took some grief for it but was forgiven when they started winning again.

Right or wrong, if a coach feels a player isn't going to contribute, suggests he leaves, and the player basically says i don't care about ball I'm just gonna use up your scholly to stay here....HE'S GONE!

As I said these kids want to play ball, i don't recall many kids saying I'm giving up ball to stay at this school because I like it. Like I said if they did that, their scholarship would be yanked REAL QUICK.

Actually, I'm pretty sure Renaldo was told by Pearl we was being recruited over (Maymon) and decided to stay.

Larry Brown cutting SMU players - ESPN

"Starting point guard Jeremiah Samarrippas told the school's student newspaper that (Coach Larry) Brown basically told him that he "wasn't good enough to play for him."

This.

Coaches have been cutting guys for years. Usually the kid keeps his mouth shut so he doesn't get labeled a trouble maker and the coach helps the kid find a nice place to land.
