It's fine to disagree with a player's decision, but don't shit on him in public. He basically said the kid has a better chance of failure than success. And he's probably correct, but to say it to the media is just sour grapes.
He even put it on his website. Come on, Pete. Sanchez is a man, he made a decision. Stick by your player, don't throw him under the bus. This is pretty selfish IMO. Pete Carroll - News |
I know right.
I've coached before (youth basketball) and in my eyes Pete Carroll completely violated the player coach bond. Imo his behavior was reprehensible. Regardless of how you feel about Sanchez decision you don't rain on your on kids parade like that. I hope Carroll's classless antics don't affect Sanchez's draft status. And if that was Pete intention then he is an as...um... shame on him. Sanchez didn't deserve that and I wish him success and good health.
*-I wonder what Mike Gundy would say to Pete Carroll.
