In response to flinder
I mean, none of us are in the locker room, so we're all obviously speculating.
What I'm still curious about is what compelled them to unionize. Usually, when one does that, it's to get better working conditions. I haven't heard anything about McLaughlin being any kind of a taskmaster or unkind. (Plenty of players had issues with Cormier but loved Faucher, but the love for their coach didn't really correlate with the team's record...) But you don't form a union because everything is hunky-dory.
I don't know--I think I'm just confused and, given the team's continued sad-sackery, disheartened.
I agree with this. There may be good reasons not to publicly list the grievances prior to unionization. One of them might be that the public would not be sympathetic and, as a result, not be supportive of the union.
I suspect that such is the case with MBB. But again- its speculation on my part.
Not surprised that players had issues with Cormier. He spent some time in the NBA and probably learned some next-level stuff that he tried with Dartmouth upon his return.
And while I never played basketball, I did like Faucher as a person. I would not expect him to remember me, but we did have a short chat during his coaching tenure.
