i tend to disagree, what coaches know as players know it is a business, a coach knows he needs to put together a team not of friends but of players that can help that team, a player knows friendships matter little when you have to produce and show your worth.. sure a coach might keep a veteran but less about friends and more about intangibles and already knowing what you have, whereas a rookie or young player has more risk and unknowns that can make a coach decide if close im keeping the veteran.
