Do NCAA rules allow a coach to drop a player(s) who satisfy academic requirements, but do not play well on the court?

As tornado said- the answer is yes. There is no NCAA rule that requires that a student-athlete's scholarship must be renewed each year. It is entirely up to the coach and AD, even if the player fulfills all requirements. And it happens every year at a large number of schools.

scholarships are virtually always awarded year by year - no player automatically deserves one beyond the year he's currently using (**unless by special agreement very few schools are guaranteeing 4-yr rides as a recruiting tool) so of course any scholarship player can go elsewhere next season..

Here's something interesting....

when multi-year scholarships were proposed & enacted, the members of NCAA Division I conductes a vote to override and cancel this rule.
Of the 330 schools who cast votes, 62.12% (205 out of 330) voted to rescind the rule but 62.5% was needed!
Thus multi-year scholarships passed by about 1/3 of one percent, so if just 2 schools had voted the other way or if just four of the schools that neglected to vote had cast an override vote, the measure would not have passed.

Thank you Tornado. Informative and comprehensive as usual!
So that means that Coach Wardle will probably drop the ineffective players, certainly those that dont put forth effort?
 
The only time you generally see athletic scholarships pulled by a coach are when players run into academic problems or break team rules. Now, with that being said, players that leave programs, most generally leave on their own free will, but are helped out the door. Coaches make them aware that playing time is going to be virtually zero and they help the player find a scholarship at another school. The last thing schools want is a reputation as a school that doesn't honor athletic scholarships.

I really believe the coaching staff is getting effort from the players and the players are good people. They just aren't very good and most of them don't have much potential for the type of development we need to be competitive.

It happens quite often that kids are run off simply because the coach thinks he can recruit someone who helps the team more.

Jalen Crawford, Shayok Shayok, Donivine Stewart, Devon Hodges, Jordan Swopshire, and Stefan Zecevic were all run off by Geno.

Warren Jones, Tramique Sutherland, Kendahl Amerson, and Jermaine Morgan were all told to leave by Wardle. There was obviously rules violation issues with Jones.
 
Koch Bar (#31 in dark uniform in this picture below) has a talented sophomore teammate Luguentz Dort (the guy who is dunking)...
Dort is already blowing up and is visiting Florida this week

Arlington Country Day was up 10 when their star guard Lugentz Dort went down hard, was out for 10 minutes then was taken off on a stretcher-
the stories say that Dort is a cousin of BU recruit Richardson Maitre who plays for West Oaks.

they play Saturday at 6pm (Eastern) in Florida
In this particular matchup, Koch Bar will again be given the task of guarding one of the very top big men in the entire nation.
He's already faced 4 or 5 of the top 25 big men nationally and now faces GPS's 7-footer Victor Uyaelunmo, who already has offers from Florida, Florida State, Georgetown & others.

Note that another one of Koch bar's teammates now is Bradley commit Jayden Hodgson, who has transferred and is now playing with Bar at the Arlington Country Day Prep school in Jacksonville, Florida-

ACD seized a 45-38 lead with a furious 7-0 run, capped off by a Jayden Hodgson 3-pointer in the third quarter.

Hodgson, out of Australia, hit several loud shots.

The underrated Class of 2016 combo guard will prolong his career at Bradley alongside Bar.
 
I realize this is highlights for the other team but ACD's defense seems lacking in this game. I may have been wrong but it looks like a lack of failing to cut off the driving lanes and maybe too much reliance on blocking a shot. Did anyone else see that? Am I wrong?
 
That is how it seemed all the teams in the Washington Tournament of Champions played. And I think it is tyopical of prep schools. Very little defense is played.
 
would love to get some more detailed game reports...

but ACD is in action again tonight vs. Downey Christian
 
Unfortunately no box score or individual stats that I can find...
but ACD (now 20-8 ) beat Downey Christian for their 6th win in a row..but one fact about Downey is that their best player is an 8th grader who is averaging 22.4 points per game against nationally rank-caliber high school opponents.

The kid's name is Julian Newman and he still has four years of high school eligibility left...

some might recall this kid who was viral a year ago in these videos.

Here is a current video of the kid, Julian Newman. He is still very small, even for an 8th grader. I am sure his parents are hoping for a big growth spurt.
