I’m not real fond of the whole:
-being vague about what happened other than saying it was a ‘non academic’ and not an ‘off court’ issue
-making a comment about “if Boden wants back on the team” (assigning blame to boden…whatever the issue was)
-and then doing this through the newspaper to announce something happened (didn’t need to be public). Sure people would have noticed he wasn’t playing, but you could downplay whatever it was so as to not draw attention to it.

Maybe whatever happened did require discipline. It could have been boden’s fault, it could have been richman’s fault, but most likely it was probably a little bit of both. But the way it all went down, it’s all one sided, and keep in mind, there have been many many many player and assistant coach departures from the team prior to the transfer portal being a “thing.

Obviously I hope Boden comes back. He developed into a nice player since arriving and is needed on the court.
