Should ABA players have to sign player agreements.
An agreement protects both the player and the club and in the absence of an agreement means more problems that with one. Without seeing what was signed, it's too hard to comment on any out clause, but one expects there should be a clause enabling either party an out.
I think there is something about the wording in an agreement that affects College basketball. College ball is for those who haven't turned pro and I understand that if they get paid, as opposed to re-imbursed, they may be in-eligible for College Ball. This is particularly important to young players who want to backpack around the US of A and throw a few oranges at hoops.
At the end of the day, the player and the club should sign an agreement and I understand BSA have standard agreements that can be modified to suit the club.
Should a player be cleared if they want an out? IMO, there's usually not much point hanging onto a player whose heart lies elsewhere.
