The response "I love it here and this is

A few things.

First, Babers has been asked the question less than a handful of times - there has been no overreaching by the press.

Second, I have little doubt that Brohm and Campbell are asked the question as much as Babers is asked the question. ln Brohm's case I'm sure he hears it all the time since he clearly sought to get out of West Lafayette after the 2017 season.

Third, the question is now an almost standard one in today's world of sports journalism because of the amount of coaching movement these days.

Fourth, anything and everything can help get fans to the Dome. If a skeptical fan hears that the coach is truly committed and plans to stay in CNY for the long haul, he or she will likely see that as a good thing and that will give him more of a reason to convince him or her to commit to the program.

Fifth, if Babers wants to end the questioning - I wonder if he does - he can do it very easily - just state that he likes the job and plans to be here for the long haul.

But the evasive BS answer that "I'm just focusing my attention on UConn" causes needless discomfort and is not the way to do it in my opinion.
