Except it's not that simple. Self also has to keep all of his handlers and his agent happy. And even if they're all content, the player might transfer anyway because somebody else lures him with a bigger bag, or he wants to be closer to home, etc.
Self's job is to try to win games. Not to bend over backwards to meet every demand of every recruit...who might turn around and bail anyway. Besides, he DID meet their expectations. If those expectations change retroactively, that's not Self's fault. Bidunga did nothing this season to earn significantly more minutes, especially down the stretch.
Half the players in the country are in the portal and plenty more will follow. Did all their coaches fail them?
