But the FO signs and releases players, it might be more the coaches responsibility to communicate with players already under contract. In this instance I'm not sure that Katie would be better off talking to Jonah than Zac and Frank... What would she say, especially knowing Jonah would not be happy?
Yeah, talking through it has allowed me to refine my point more. I wasn't necessarily meaning to advocate for telling him prior to the signing, even though I think this has probably occurred, but just more so that someone should have told him before Apple News.
Sure, I can understand keeping the chain of communication intact. If Duke wanted to relay it to Zac, and then Zac to Frank, so on and so forth then that is completely fine. Honestly, it is probably preferable. Frank is going to have much more of a relationship built with Jonah than Katie. I would suspect he would be able to communicate it better, and then communicate plans going forward.
Maybe the blame is on the coaches for not reaching out to him. This staff has really blossomed and that would be out of character for them as well.
