RE: Proposal to let athletes transfer instantly after a coaching change picks up steam

If coaches have the freedom to come and go without penalty, so athletes if the coach leaves.
And coaches NEVER should have been able to block transfers to certain schools.
I don't agree with never. I believe that a coach should be able to block a transfer to any scheduled opponents during the span of eligibility for competitive reasons. If a player wants to transfer from East Central State the ECS coach should be able to block them from going to Middle Northern Tech if Middle Northern Tech is on their schedule every year.
That would be the only blocking I would be in favor of.
Why? If Player A is buried on the bench of ECS, and can start at MNT, shouldn't the best interests of the Student-athlete come first?
