We are too soft as a society
condescending questions get condescending answers. what a complex idea!
I'm totally fine if they never interviewed another coaching staff mid game again. They generally always give the same response.
Stop these BS in game interviews, they’re completely useless and have a negative impact on the game.
Half time interviews with coaches are a waste of everyone’s time
Honestly he was right to call her out, it wasn’t what she said but HOW she said it.
I laughed at that answer live. I didn't think he was being disrespectful.
When I saw it live, couldn’t believe she said that..
No apology necessary. Those interviews are stupid anyway.
Ben Johnson was absolutely right. Nothing to apologize about here. Tired of these annoying reporters harassing coaches mid-game. 😤
