quote:What I reacted to was the proposal that it's okay to make a commitment with the full expectation of backing out of it if a better offer comes along. I believe that when you make a commitment, you should stop dreaming about your former dream school, and go forward with sincere intention to make the commitment work. I also believe you shouldn't commit unless you trust the coach enough to expect him to act in a principled manner and that you should treat him with the level of integrity you expect him to demonstrate (golden rule). If you do these things and events unfold such that you need to de-commit, you can look the coach in the eye when you explain why.
IMO, simply one of the very best paragraphs ever written on the hsbaseballweb.
