I dunno....if it's a 4 year free ride then we are talking about some serious money here, and could possibly be a deal breaker for this kid's ability to get into college. And at that age he already is the kid he's becoming if you ask me. On the other hand, if the kid was really counting on the performance of his final game to get an offer then I suspect he hasn't turned many heads anyway...or maybe it's the mom's lawyer who's building this up. But it doesn't make sense to me for the kid's mom to take this all with just a shrug - in other words I think she did the right thing by her kid.
Having said that, I believe the judge was completely wrong issuing the restrainng order and letting the team play without penalty. Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans. And this *team* - not just the one kid who happened to be the star - was about to get dealt a healthy dose of life that would have served as a deterrent to others for years to come. And that is what is wrong with this picture IMO.
