Mike, works hard, but he's media so you know which way he leans. That said, generally he isn't completely biased either like the majority of big newspaper writers, but I kinda found this article out of touch. Who's he speaking to with this one? His audience highly made up of players, coaches, AD's, parents. During this whole thing players have been able to constantly adjust. They've learned to even play with a mask that hinders their breathing for crying out loud. Coaches? Do you know how coaches operate? They come up with solutions for everything. They prepare for everything. I know a group of coaches that came up with 5 different season plans depending on how this whole thing went down. I'm sure they considered a worst case scenario plan. No need for O'Brien to tell them. AD's aren't that much different from the coaches. Parents? You get a wide mix and range of personalities and mindsets from them. That said, even still you have many very aware of the situation. Some have adjusted and made moves. Heck, even the dad of Joliet's likely best player in the last 40 years orchestrated a move to a top prep school out of state. So its hard for me to comprehend who's he's trying to reach with this one.
