So when you say bzz showed him the door, do you mean that Ari was definitely 100% wanting to come back next year and the coach told him he wasn't welcome?
We were probably the 7th or 8th next to last at large team in. I'd say that's solidly in. If we were the lowest seeded at large team in the tournament I would not say we were solidly in.
Not saying I blame Bzz, but people seemed to be curious over whether or not Bzz showed him the door or if Ari left on his own.

It's most likely both. Not everything is black and white.
Ari was unhappy. It showed in his approach towards the game. Bzz showed him the door (which was best for both of them imo).
No, both were to blame. Ari didn't particularly want to come back (never felt comfortable at Wake) and Bzz absolutely did not want Ari back. Ari didn't try that hard and [Redacted] never liked him.
Both are absolutely to blame, perhaps Ari moreso. I was just clearing up if this was a situation where Bzz wanted him back and Ari wanted to move on or something of that sort.
This was a mutual departure and neither particularly cared for the other.
Oh, and I never voted for you in the WPT (seriously)
Think we're arguing semantics here. I'm sure Ari knew what was expected, continually failed to meet (what I'm sure were minimal) expectations, and was shown the door by [Redacted].
I voted for BBD. A 16 needs to rise up and beat a 1. Not even sure who BBD was up against, but it was time.
I don't see why people are insistent on blaming either one of them. Based on what we can infer, neither seems to be to blame. Ari wasn't very happy here in the first place and then lost one of the few strong connections he had (Dino), well that isn't his fault, and it isn't [Redacted]'s fault either.
Ari did not show the adequate effort on the court or in the classroom either. He is certainly to be blamed for the second, and probably the first. "Not fitting in" is not an excuse.
Agree to disagree I guess. Imo, if you're on the team, you have to get it done in the classroom. Otherwise, you don't deserve to be in the program.
