Thanks for providing that background and example. I respect your expertise on this matter. I too, am in a similar field. I agree that statement would have been a good one to have made and humanizes both the situation and the coach. No argument from me at all on that.

The SU AD has strong leadership that wants to do the right thing. They are understaffed at the moment. From my experience with these matters, sometimes a plan for how your spokesman/woman will respond to live questioning doesn't always work out. Now, perhaps, the blame for that rests squarely on your comms teams. Other times, despite ample prep, live fire in front of the bright lights can be difficult.  I know Desko cares deeply about his players and SU. This is likely a very hard situation for him emotionally. I say this only to offer, that I don't believe what you wrote wasn't what was planned. But I do imagine, a healthly dose of fear, and some legal advice, pushed onto JD, the need to stay as far away as possible from any specifics.

Just my .02
