That's a great point.  Goes directly with the rule, "go where you are loved."  I am assuming that some programs do not fit that criteria for anybody in the program.  Assistant coaches may have there "favorites" and lobby for them, but head coach is under lots of pressure to win.  It is definitely tougher.  I assume that is why a lot of kids transfer.  Eyes wide open.
