re: You are Miles.....under what terms do you allow TM7 back on team?

1st (and likely only) condition: absolutely no breaches of any team rules for the next year. He needs to learn priorities and delayed gratification. If he cannot learn to put off his immediate desire for satisfaction in return for a bigger reward later, then I would never feel comfortable trusting him with the responsibilities of representing my team.

If, on the other hand, he does show that he can do that then I would let him come back and be on the same footing as the rest of the team. I would not want to bring him back on any kind of special probation/waiting for him to fail kind of conditions. He's going to be out for a year anyway; use that year to decide to trust him again or cut him loose.

I was always bothered by the Bob Knight "any tiny slip and you are kicked out" situation. I'd take that approach while he's trying to earn his way back, but once that time is done I'd either take him all the way back or not at all.
