I didn't know that about the Harvey coach/student name coincidence. Interesting, isn't it? One thing I've always wondered -- have you ever been at the mall, or around town and seen some of these student athletes sporting the gold chains and diamond ear studs that blind you? If you read their bios most are on athletic scholarship and supposedly come from humble abodes. Where does the money for the serious jewelry come from? Are we to assume it's on "loan" from local jewelers?

Yes, I have seen the athletes in their finery at the mall. They appear to be eager to accept material favors. Perhaps they even feel entitled to them, and would be jealous if they think an untried newcomer is getting more favors than the other players.
Dotson's apparent paranoid schitzophrenia may have been manipulated to do the dirty work for the disgruntled team members.
