I don't doubt that they already do that

Both head coaches and assistant coaches. In many cases, individual players have closer relationships to the assistants than they have with the head coach.

I know for a fact that both ND basketball programs spend a lot of time on personal development as well as basketball development, and both have a philosophy of having young players learn to be leaders from the older ones so they will be prepared to lead when their time comes. The year by year progression is part of the program.

Nevertheless, Notre Dame's academic program, ND's social life and campus rules, Muffet McGraw, and/or Mike Brey aren't a great fit for everyone; and if one or more of those aren't clicking with a player, having to be patient for playing time to become available will make the decision to transfer all the more appealing.

Unless a player goes public with specific reasons, speculating why is a worthless exercise.
