Here's a clue, = humor. And is name calling "doing anything for the discussion or the topic at hand"? I think not.
"Trolling" is a verb, not name calling.
No, he claimed data supported his point, which was when I asked to see it. I didn't see any claims of data from "the other guy".
He said:
The data doesn't really bear that out generally (transfers are becoming more and more common every year), and the specific scenario you're proposing make it even more dubious in this case.
in response to the other guy's claim. He doesn't claim it supports his own case.
His data was limited in size and scope, which is why I asked him (using humor!) for more. This was also explained further in the conversation, which apparently you missed.
He stated in your post you replied to with "humor" (a smiley face doesn't really directly equate to humor...) that it was a small sample size. Additionally, in context, you (and a few other posters) tend to assume he's acting as a know-it-all in all contexts, for whatever reason, so pardon me for missing your humor
For the record, I'd love to see some more comprehensive data on recruits asking out of their LOI's after coaching changes. I did a bit of googling but I couldn't find anything.
It does definitely happen from time to time.
All 3 events definitely happen (transferring after enrolling and a coaching change, asking out of LOIs after a coaching change, and decomitting after a coaching change), I just don't think you'll find data to prove any sort of legitimate correlation/causation relationship when there are a large amount of factors that go into those decisions. The point you succinctly made earlier is that we can't just confidently say what our current players/commits will do in the case of a coaching change after 2017 or after 2018
