I'm still trying to future this out. We sent people across the Atlantic Ocean to build a relationship with a teenage girl to get her to move to the middle of another continent to play basketball. For her, there is literally no reason to play/live here other than to play for those coaches we sent to Spain for her. She has zero allegiance to KSU. We knew that when we sent those coaches after her to build that relationship. For a year those coaches were her de facto parents on a new, strange continent. Our university spent thousands of dollars for those coaches to build a relationship with Leti and her parents, then used a sales plan of leveraging that relationship to get her to play ball here. And now we're mad because she continued to talk to those coaches after we fired them (don't give me the we offered Shalee a job, we just fired her coach and mentor).
How do you not initially go, "We understand you moved to a strange place on the otherside of an ocean from you family to play for these coaches and you'll continue to talk to them even thought its against some rules you don't care about. Just don't go to another university in our conference or one we already have scheduled for future seasons. Thanks for carrying the sub-par team this past year."
