I followed the twitter accounts of every SB player who had one when Lombardi was hired just to see any indication of their reaction to her good or bad. I don't believe a single player left over dress code, but the whole Lombardi package hit them wrong over a period of time. They didn't all leave at once and only 4 ended up in Texas with White but every starter except Hailey left within a year. This was off a close knit Top 3 team talent wise, and not one of them left because Lombardi was bringing in a more talented player.duckfan96 wrote:Strict rules? Dress code? So she wants her players to not dress trashy on trips? I’d assume there are clauses that come with scholarships? I’d assume a dress code would be part of that. And in the age of nil of you get paid, it’s a job and your boss can set rules. Just sayin
This years exodus is from her players she brought in. Unlike the WBB transfers out, these include most of her star players. In the time of the new transfer rules, coaches need to adapt. You can still be an abrasive asshole if you have the resume to pull it off like Mulkey, Auriemma or Gasso, but for unproven coaches learning player retention skills is a must.
