I agree that it's not an easy decision, but he is to be congratulated for having stuck on the roster as a non-recruited walk-on at a program that expects to be in the NCAA post-season tournament each year. In my experience, I haven't seen that happen very often.
I got to go with the above, you don't see this happen too often, I am going to assume that the coach kept players on for insurance, if a starter got hurt he would have players to use. There is no guarantee he would play at all next year, regardless of what the coach says or appears to "promise".
Three Bagger, good stuff for your son, wishing him a productive year, however, there is a big difference between a scholarship player sitting out a year and one that has no monetary commitment. In his case, if the coach lives up to his agreement, the extra year is funded by him, there is no such thing as of this time for the OP's son.
