I think it's more along the lines that Webb has some issues with Prince. J-MART eludes to the issue of Prince being in love with Freeman, and that may be true, or had some play in it.
However, the person who needs to do the work is the player. The coach sets the rules, provides the support, and the athlete needs to do his part of the bargain. Since it's clear there is more the bargain than just showing up for practice, the games, and school, we can pretty much assume that other factors are in play. I wouldn't be too surprised to see that personality issues probably had something to do with it.
If anything, it sounds like Prince is sending a message. Archer said it clearly at the beginning of Prince's tenure that Prince pretty much lets everyone be who they want to be, dress like they want, be more relaxed. That didn't mean that standards of conduct aren't in force, or expectations have been lax. Sounds very much like someone who knows how to run a tight ship. Any of you that have been in the military know what I mean. I have watched General Officers come into command and remove people that others thought "Oh this is a great guy" only to learn he and the new General didn't get along, or that maybe something else was going on we didn't know about and the new General decided this wasn't going to work out.
That's the way life works, and believe it or not, some of you people still in college havent' seen this part of the world. It goes on all the time and you either sit in your room and pout all day, or you get off your ass and make something good come from it. Things happen for a reason, the issue is, how do you respond to adversity.
Webb will be just fine. I'm sorry it had to happen this way, I thought he was a good athlete and had the potential to be an Ell Roberson. For whatever reason, be it his own or someone elses, it didn't work out. It's not like the entire program hinged on him.
