Immediate Reactions from the Team
The news hit the team like a punch in the gut. A lot of these players saw Moore as a mentor, maybe even a father figure, so this is tough to process.
Poggi mentioned that the abruptness and lack of explanation are fueling the sense of betrayal. There’s a swirl of emotions—anger, confusion, disappointment—hanging over the locker room.

People will be watching the team’s performance closely, maybe waiting to see if things fall apart. Any stumbles on the field could be blamed on all this drama.
Maintaining Focus on the Season
