I used the word ambush for effect, probably should've used surprised, startled or stunned, take your pick. My larger point was that in no way, shape or form should he have answered or attempted to answer any of those questions in that particular forum, at that particular moment. It's a standard/contractual post game press conference, universally used to answer specific questions about the game that just ended. It's tough enough, at times, to answer questions about the game depending on the circumstances of it, and the typical high emotions that come as well immediately afterwards. Look how JB typically reacts at times when the post game questions are on point. Izzo is a fiery and emotional guy, and not in the proper mindset. This was not a news conference that the university called, prepared for, etc. to answer questions on this very sensitive subject matter. Human nature is quick to judge this or that, but it's easy from afar, when one has no idea what they would do under the same identical circumstances.
