Categorizing is exactly what they should do.
Risk management. You have to assess what character risks you can live with versus those you can't.
Yada, yada yada.
Let's keep this in context.
Disruptive behavior in a team environment is disruptive behavior.
I've already listed several examples of players that exhibited like behavior that upset the chemistry of their team.
I'm not going to try and psychoanalyze the behavior.
I'm not a psychiatrist or psychologist like RamUK is evidently!
That adage applies here in your context. Even in a team environment, categorization is prudent.
All disruptive behavior in a team environment is not equal.
If you (or I) can't tell the difference, the team should hire a psychiatrist/psychologist/RamUK to make the determination.
There are other questions the team should answer.
How disruptive is the behavior? How much disruptive behavior can the team culture handle? Does the team have special resources on hand that will help them handle the disruptive behavior better than the last team? I'm sure there are many more questions...
I get your concerns but I don't think the answer is to say all disruptive behavior is equal and to just avoid it all.
You and I aren't connecting at all on this particular subject.
Disruptive behavior is defined as behavior in which there are patterns of ongoing uncooperative, defiant, and hostile behaviors toward authority figures that seriously impacts daily functioning.That is unacceptable to ME.
Now what a team is willing to deal with or not is not an area I have ever broached.
I couldn't possibly know what the Rams would accept and would not venture a guess.
Disruptive behavior as defined is disruptive behavior. That was MY point.
Again what a team will accept is beyond my pay grade.
But let's hope for the best.
Best,
