I think coaches are pretty blunt with their players these days. But, yes, tact is important. That's why I said "I see you as having a better path in life leading elsewhere. I want what's best for you. And, I feel like that will be at another school. I'll always be your biggest fan. Good luck! Hope you get the money/playing time you're looking for!"
It's a business now. If the player and the coach don't agree on what the player should be paid, is that "retaliation"?
I didn't say anything about scholarships. I don't know anything about those rules. But, in this day, if you tell a player that you're not renewing their contract, you've already recruited over them with Sienna and Bilic, I don't think they'll stay.
