I can see it from both sides. He's signed a professional contract, he needs to abide by it. That said, I don't quite understand why Nolan says he should be demoted because he's not going to develop sitting in the press box. I mean, Nolan's acting like his hands are tied and he has no option but to let him sit. Why doesn't Nolan earn his coaching job by putting forth the effort to get this kid ready to play? Plus, the season's half-over. If he's still stinking up the joint, he can go to Rochester next year.
