from what I can tell, he's mostly rebellious against authority figures. Basically un-coachable unless he were to have a change of heart and buy in. Can't have loose cannons on this ship.Washington's trouble with the TEAM wasn't directly related to his smartphone. He just didn't behave like a team player for team activities. His smartphone got him in trouble with California, not the Husker football team.
It's a shame that he wasted his physical talents, could have had a very successful career IMO. But he made his own choices in the end after having been given several chances. That's life.
