I was wondering the same thing bc I would’ve much rather had them go anyways and use Capel to coach again. It was definitely a trip that a team this young and inexperienced needed.
However, after hearing more about it, it seems like they decided to go ahead and cancel it so that they would still be able to schedule another international trip within the next few years. Hoping that Coach K would actually be able to attend one more international trip with the team. If they had completed this trip without him, they’d have to wait several years to do another one, and no one is sure how long K will be coaching.
