If Archie told Ralph that he would get few minutes of paying time this year, and Ralph thought about it and decided he wanted to transfer so he could continue playing basketball, he had to be grateful for Archie's honesty (as he said in his tweet). The most cruel thing Archie could have done was to not tell him.

Absolutely correct....The difference here, which is not being mentioned, is this is "BG's" Ralph Hill, not Miller's RH..Miller inherited the kid so it's just a tad different than if Archie had sold Ralph and his family a lemon car, perpetuated with promises........Does AM still have responsibility in this? Of course he does but the white flag Archie carries in his pocket, or the mulligan, is that he can be straight-up with the kid and tell him he does not see him getting minutes unless injury or other circumstances happen. RH can take it any way he wants..This happens all over the country at at very very good schools. Get over it folks, there are lots of happenings going on outside of pleasantville....
