1. I like that Coach Martin was able to show some tough love. When he suspended Hall, it was at a time when the kid was just starting to really contribute. How much we missed him became apparent in the post season. It takes a strong coach to put discipline and long term goals above the short term necessity.
2. Hopefully Hall can earn back the trust and respect of his coaches and team through hard work. We all know that his scholarship is valuable and could have been used to shore up future teams with a solid recruit. Hopefully Hall knows it as well and works like a man with a second chance at life.
