January 30, 201511 yr I'm not a Duke fan in any way, shape or form, but I think of Coach K as a class act.
January 30, 201511 yr It's probably the only players he's ever kicked off a team, but how many players have decided to leave after being strongly 'encouraged' to do so. There's a multitude of ways to do that and it probably is used by all coaches at one time or the other. Plus it sounds a whole lot better than saying said player was "kicked off". It also helps keeps the coaches "kick off" statistics at a low number.

March 2, 201511 yr That's a bad look. University knew in April? Appears the coaches were made aware a year ago this month. In fairness you can't just go and suspend at the first whisper of any misconduct, but it does appear this could have been picking up steam in the fall which explains his sudden departure.
