KY coach was not uncooperative, contrary what Baylor fans believe. Edwards knew before she transferred to Baylor that she would have to sit out 5th year at Baylor, because after 4th year at KY she did not graduate and it would be her 2nd transfer. If she is allowed to play another year at Baylor, her playing career would be 7 years (2018-2025).
Don' t know whether uncooperative or not, but it is my understanding the the coach of the team the player is departing from does have the option to give a full release. Some coaches do and others don't and probably some who are inconsistent. We don't know what she was told or what might have been implied or just her misunderstanding what she had been told. If you were in the room perhaps you know, but I suspect, you, like the rest of us, were not.
And yes, I suspect being in the draft pool disqualifies you from further college eligibility. But, every other NCAA rule is being turned on its head, so who knows.
