Everything you guys have said, I've done in some way or another. I've talked with the father/ex-coach many times. I've laid out my expectations of him to him probably 3-4 times. That's why I'm not hiring him this year. I've spoken to him very frankly about his son and what is going on. My concern from the beginning is that if it continues, I need to cut him and his cancerous ways out of the program. That has steam rolled into peoples' views on cutting and what you can and can not do. As I've mentioned previously, I know you can't cut during the off-season. BUT you can hold them accountable (and I do 2-3 coachcb) and their accountability in the off-season should be held against them. If a player doesn't meet the required % of workouts, they have additional workouts till they reach that number. Those that play another sport are given full credit for workouts and if they happen to make a workout during their season, they can bank those days. (I get this with wrestlers mostly.) But back to the original question, if a player was cancerous, is it absurd to cut him?
How do you define "cancerous"?
You have your school-approved Rubric.
That's what you have to live with.

I have only ever cut one kid.. He was an academically ineligible player who was allowed to practice. He had been lying to me all summer about his grades and some other supposed "meetings" he had with the principal. This was something I spoke with him about but kept it between the two of us and never factored it in because I knew the real deal. Had run in with coaches various times / skipped practices with "no calls" and finally told a coach " {censored} that" when asked to do something. He was a great locker room guy, but a terrible example. I define cancerous as something that does all the wrong things and after we make attempts to change behavior; does not change. Sets a bad example and standard, which can spread to the rest of the team if not dealt with quickly. Cancerous.
