For me there is no gray area

If I have to discipline my child for something and while they are in that punishment they do something else.... It is not "what" they did, that will Determine my next move.It is the fact "that" they did.

If you don't respect my punishment , then you don't respect me

And this is my final word on this subject , because we are beating a dead horse

What I'm surprised no one has noticed or mentioned (I haven't read every single post in this thread)...is the quote from KC that "I feel bad for this current team that we have. Time will tell if it's the right choice for this team, but I have no doubt that it's the right choice for the team 4-5 years from now."

That is very telling. How could "having standards" be the wrong choice for this current team? Seems like there are quite a few "Rubys" on this team that condone, defend, and have no problem with Ruby's actions. She is basically saying there is a presiding culture problem and this type of action (that she took / these standards) will absolutely be the right choice for this program when all of these players are gone and she has a team filled with her own recruits (in 4-5 years).

Don't shoot the messenger. That's pretty much exactly what she said and meant.

Now I think maybe I was right overall for thinking that KC wasn't high on the team from the jump and that she noticed some culture problems. She famously would state later in the year how this team likes to quit. Is it her, is it the team, is it both? I don't know. But my gut has told me time and time again (since back in November) that she doesn't really feel like she has the players she wants - especially from an attitude/effort perspective. I have felt like since she's been here she would say that the overall culture is nowhere where it needs to be and it's the biggest thing she's looking to change. No matter who's side you take I think it's likely that her and this team have butted heads all year.
