I agree with Captain Crunch here. I have played many team sports and at the national level. Nothing usually works better than your teammates trying to set you straight. Not the coach, your parents, the management.

The pressure a team can put on a player, without violence or any other sort of hazing. What Buff did by throwing his stuff in the shower so he couldn't wear it out, is not bullying IMO. This isn't a bunch of high school kids bullying the wimp in gym class.

Does it make it right? Probably not the best way to handle it, but maybe they have tried everything else they can without violence or beat him up in the locker room to send him a message. Talking to him doesn't work, that seems pretty obvious. Benching him doesn't work, he has been benched a few times and he still does these sorts of things.

Kane has to take responsibility for a majority of this. I agree that the management should have done a better job of dealing with this.

If he goes and plays some where else, will he be different or still have clashes with his teammates and coaches? I wouldn't be willing to take a chance on him.
