No...what makes that a dunce is to tell his friend and player before it was official or even thought about. From the article it sounds like the transfer player was unaware of his impending transfer. Either way if you can’t see the “dunce” in this move...here’s your sign

That's what Brannen supposedly did and it's a complete dunce move. It's fine to suspect a guy is transferring and prepare to the future. But you talk to the guy first and make sure of his plans. You don't promise guy A playing time because guy B is transferring unless you are sure guy B is transferring. There is plenty of room to give less definite statements. |

I have no problem with John telling a recruit that minutes may be opening up. Go back and look at my original post. The claim is he told a current player (my guess is Mason) that minutes would open up for him because another player (almost certainly Harvey) was expected to transfer. Maybe Harvey had considered transferring, but he didn't know he was expected to transfer. Maybe that's not what was actually said. If Brannen told Mason his minutes may increase next year because Harvey may transfer (and Brannen had talked to Harvey and knew he may transfer), that's fine. We can only judge based on second hand knowledge. But the sheer number of player defections and the consistency of them blaming Brannen and saying that Brannen lies and deceives indicates the first scenario is quite possibly the truth. |

I’m understanding completely I just have a different stance. And like I said I’m willing to see it both ways, it all depends on context. Did he PROMISE. Or did he discuss the possibility. Big difference. And right now your source material is a second hand source by way of an angry transfer.
