I'm just mad that this keeps happening; yea, it could be something completely different, but when Jess left and after todays news, my mind goes to one reason. But I know one thing, Fen. can't change his style of coaching, cuz that's who he is.

This one hurts. I really think that Em was going to be a solid contributor this year. BF has always ran hot on the coaching sidlelines. This is not new behavior. The only players that left (lately) due to his temprament have been Schroll and now Em. So I will not going down the path of this becoming an epidemic as some are saying in this thread.
Cydney posted some of her dads posts that are probably the most telling. You could tell that he wa not happy with the way that she was being used on the court. So, it wasnt JUST the Iowa game disaster. She already had it in her mind that she was not happy. That just pushed her over the edge. BF knew what was up - that would explain why she did not see the floor the first half against Fairfield.
Finally, some can see it as a positive and some a negative. I really think that it is BF's "system" that leads to a lot of unhappy players. They play it a slow it down and pass it around style of offense. You could just tell that Em was not suited - mentally - for that kind of system. She seemed to be more of a creative and attacking style of player. on defense she liked to leave the person that she was guarding to come and try and poke at the ball. I can tell you from watching BFs teams in the past that this is not acceptable. You leave your person - then they are open - and open person is never acceptable to BF.
Everything will be fine and we will bounce back from this - but it does hurt

What changed the dream to play here? I wish her the best of luck and happy holidays.
Deeply saddened by this really was high on Em. There is unfairness and capriciousness here.
Kids leave programs. It happens. She might be an emotional person who did not like the way the coach treated her. She sounds like a bright kid. Oh well next lady in.
Thanks Ray. Sorry to see her leave. Too bad the issue couldn't be resolved. Give her my best.
Ray,
I am sorry that she has to leave. No one knows why girls act the way they do but best wishes and hopes that where she goes she does not encounter such there!
I'm not sure how to take this statement but seems like you are saying the other girls on the team weren't making her feel welcome which I seriously doubt is the case.
So it's not grades, not homesickness, not too tough of a coach, not that she didn't like ISU, not that she was too selfish. Well, that doesn't leave much left. But I think I understand now. Thanks.

For whatever reason (I agree it appears questionable), it's a total crock that she bails on the team mid-season, especially given her PT and role in the rotation.
I dont know what I would feel but I sure wouldnt be posting on a public fan forum. None of us know whats going on in this situation and you arent going to find too many positives posts about it here. I'm not sure what you're trying to do by posting here now. Sorry. Sorry this didnt work out and we wish your family the best in the future.
Either tell the entire story or stop posting and move on. It's funny that you feel the need to defend your daughter to anonymous message board posters.
