So, what does Doyle want? Every time an 18/19 year old kid hits someone, mouths off, makes a bad grade, gets accused of drug use, gets a traffic ticket, stays out too late, that Miles should summarily kick that player off the team. No hearing, no investigation, no time. Someone calls and says, "hey Miles, your player was stopped by the police last night and spent the night in jail," According to the dipwad that wrote the column, he should not take ANY time to investigate, get the everyone's version of events, he should just kick the player off the team. Hogwash. Miles should not handle it that way, no coach handles it that way, and neither would the self-righteous Doyle. Everyone deserves to at least be heard, regardless of how long it takes.
Having said that, it does not look good for Hill. I would not advocate keeping him on the team if the video is self-evidently true, and it remained so after all the facts were in, not the least of which is police report. It must be nice to be this writer, who evidently has NEVER had to ask for or been afforded a second chance. Believe me, I am not a bleeding heart, but I do believe, that people are capable of change when hard lessons come to bear. Good luck to Hill. This may be his hardest lesson. But, I hope he salvages his future and contributes positively in his life. As for Doyle, not sure he is salvageable.
