No one can be shocked at this and expect a large exodus. More to follow. This is what happens when you remove the coach.
FredD, as I posted elsewhere a coaching change will negate the rule but usually through a waiver. However, I am sure that GW will not fight it given that these kids came here to play for JC.
GWRising, I believe Jamion was, first and foremost, a player's coach. I too think we shouldn't be surprised to see James and Brayon also leave. On another note, I wish we had kept Jamion. I believed in him a person, mentor and coach and feel he was short-changed, having been fired after an extremely difficult transition year (read MoJo and the prior administration left him a mess) followed by two tumultuous COVID years. I don't know how GW could expect more than what he gave them, which was a program on the upswing. Imagine what he could have accomplished with Ira Lee. I guess that's the world we live in these days.
Exactly.
GWRising, I know the team didn't finish the season on a high note, but I feel the general trajectory of the team was quite good. Actually, I think it was better than it had been for many years. From what I could tell, I think Tanya not only liked Jamion, but also believed in him. It seemed like the players played for Jamion and he was brining in better quality players from year to year. If you agree with that assessment, it follows, that we would have had another much improved team next year as long as James, Joe and Brayon remained. They all seemed to have great respect for Jamion, so I wouldn't think they'd leave as long as they knew their coach wasn't going anywhere. I know things can change quickly and for all sorts of reasons, but the decision to fire Jamion seems extremely odd to me. Not sure you know (or would want to say), but could you offer any insight as to why the administration gave up on Jamion?
