Of course they talked about what they were going to say before the PC.

But the idea that the thing was "scripted" is bizarre. JB went off on his own tangent. His agenda seemed to be to stick it to the reporters that had gotten it wrong. He was bristling at the suggestions that he had engineered Hop's departure and that he is too old and that he is uninvolved in recruiting or practices.

Widhack was pouring oil on the waters. JB was on the attack.

The sports local sports press had gone off the deep end looking for and or imagining the sensational. These guys are, of course, the very bottom of the journalism totem pole. I love to see them slapped around with a dose of "Here's what really happened."

Now as to business knowledge. I spent 40 years in responsible positions in Marketing and Planning for Fortune 100 corporations. I have been involved in the planning for and conduct of dozens of press interactions to explain what we were doing and why.

Your own understanding of the difference between corporations and universities seems a bit weak. My wife worked at a senior position at a very prominent university. Her descriptions of how things worked in her world left me slack-jawed. No corporation could or would operate like they do. That's why the operation of the athletic departments is so frequently screwed up.
