Thanks for the post Ramy, it was very insightful.

Bye the way I briefly talked to Pops Lowder last evening. Drew is headed to Georgia Southern, his third school in as many years. While his family lives in Jackson, this kid was a star at AA Pioneer High and to me had a ton of potential to be the same at EMU as well. I am extremely disappointed that he is leaving.

That said, his father who was disturbed about the situations apparently had a conversation with Coach Heath recently and his outlook dramatically changed.

He told me that Stan explained the "need to change the culture" and he understood why he took whatever position he did with existing players. He was effusive in his praise of our new coach, a juxtaposition that indeed left me baffled.

At the end of the day, I am becoming a "Stan Fan". I don't want to get too granular about details, but when an outgoing transfer is extolling your virtues as a coach, that can only be a GREAT thing for your program.
