But its not all uncommon.

Players in all sports choose not to deal with negotiations during seasons or tournaments, look at the World Cup, players are being bought and sold left right and center, but they werent dealing with it during the tournament.

Sports require focus.

Sure, the team can deal with an agent but at the end of the day the agent cant say 'yes or no.' That has to be the player. And its not likely going to be once or twice, contracts change minutely constantly and require confirmation or negation.
