JB's Presser after Bona

[OrangeXtreme]

 

[orangenirvana]

I wonder if the first question was about a ref call if he would have walked out without answering anything.

 

[Cheriehoop]

JB sure didn’t want to talk about the referees.

 

[Jake]

He was seeeeeething

 

[SUFan44]

He was seeeeeething

At refs or at his team’s continued inability to run a functional offense?

 

[kuethstheman]

Both, I think.

The refs are the refs. There is absolutely nothing he or anyone else can do about them. Like Belichek says - focus on the things you can control. Like your offense which can, over time, be improved.

Jim threw his clip board down on the floor when the ref only put .3 seconds on the clock cause he knew no matter what he drew up they were done.

Chased after the ref in tunnel to scream at him.

And then stormed out of post game press conference when media asked about the refs. Bet that media reporter felt like a dick

 

[Halfmooncuse]

He gives a better press than Sarah

 

[tbonezone]

a great 10 seconds of incite on every question asked.

 

[AZOrange]

We have the worst press in the CBB scene

Trunk monkey or media?

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Coach , do you guys practice offense ?

 

[tbonezone]

coach how are you going to spend your 50k tax windfall ?

 

[OrangeDW]

Trunk monkey or media?

Trunk monkey works against teams that can’t finish but won’t just pull it out.

 

[cuseinseattle]

I have to say the refs tonight reminded me of Higgins and Burr. Really took me back. The feeling of anger and helplessness really is crippling.

 

[hungrychuck]

Umm, why would the reporter feel like that? It was a logical question to ask.

The reporter has no control over whether the coach throws a tantrum and walks out.

Coach, how does it feel to lose your SALT deductions while living in the Salt city?

I doubt the reporter felt badly. His question got a reaction and that’s exactly what he wanted. We’re all talking about it and I bet that press conference which was pretty tame and unremarkable will now get comments and clicks because he asked.

Or it could have just been a good and logical question to ask. Plus I would wager that it hadn't been asked there would be whining on here about why those weasels in the press were afraid to ask about that awful call.

Huh, I never said it was a bad or illogical question. It seems reasonable to me that a game decided by calls at the end is a topic a reporter would believe is worth getting a take on. It’s also understandable and common knowledge that JB couldn’t answer without getting fined. Asking a question, doesn’t mean they will get an answer. JB gave him a reaction by ending the press conference and walking out that people could comment on so I imagine the reporter feels fine asking it.

And I completely agree with you that the reporter would feel fine asking it. I'm suggesting only that "clicks" were probably not a major motivation. And again, the reporter couldn't have known JB would walk out. JB could have said "next question" and continued the presser.

Jb shouldnt have waited till the half to make an adjustment to stop one kid from torching us. Horrible first half coaching on his part. He was more asleep then the crowd.

Yeah I'm sure he told the team not to cover that guy until halftime.

Why do reporters ask about officating in any sport? If a coach responds he gets censored by league offices. Yeah its a story but an answer only gets the coach in trouble / punished.
