This is true, but it's also true that we don't actually know the motivations behind the actions of any of these coaches. It's all guessing and guessing is when biases really kick in. People are guessing what they want to be true and then convincing themselves that their guesses are actual knowledge.
That could very well be the case, but it's speculation. None of us know if that's why Kakfa, Rizzi and Weaver haven't said anything yet. It could just as plausibly be because they were told they are still in consideration.
