This is my issue. He's doing Briscoe a disservice if he's not pleading with him to come back or transfer. Cal says once the seasons over its all about the kids. If he's not doing everything he can to help these kids make the right decision then he can't make that claim.
It was the same with Lamb, Teauge, Goodwin, Orton, Johnson, Aaron Harrison.
If Aaron Harrison and Dakari Johnson come back they're the focal point of the offense and raise their stock substantially.
Same with Lamb and Teague. Those guys could have had a season similar to Murray and Ulis.
If Cal is just saying "you should come back" and then a "welp I did my best" that's kind of bull crap.
Matt Jones and Drew Franklin have strongly hinted multiple times that Briscoe hates school. Nothing Cal says would make him come back. He only did so last time because he thought he could improve on the things the scouts told him to. He is just not NBA material and probably never will be.
