Yeah. And if I were the kid, I don't even think I'd fight it. If the team doesn't want me there, then I'll look elsewhere. As I've come to learn in life, compatibility with your job or school matters more than most everything else.
And maybe the coach's hard line plays well and you get the reputation as the tough coach who will make men out of boys, etc. and everyone wants to send their kids to play for you.
But I could also see it backfiring. If a coach's response to a kid saying he's worried about his health is to say Good Luck in D2 and don't let the door hit your ass on the way out, I could also see that being used against him by other coaches in the years to come.
