To qualify, in the same section Ford talked about leadership not only on the court but the bench as well. He talked about being a good teammate. I honestly wouldn't read anything into it other than keeping the focus off any investigation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Travis Ford's boss is Chris May. Chris May's boss is Fred Pestello. I'm assuming it's not up to either May or Ford whether they can do interviews right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3star_recruit Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Ford mentioned his three seniors in a generic discussion about leadership. He's not giving the media anything to run with. Handled like an experienced coach. I'm hopeful that the lack of interviews in the short term means that the young men will be cleared in the next few weeks.

If they are cleared I hope those that sent out that text/tweet will be punished. It was so effing disparaging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pestello and the board is making those decisions. The chain of command is a little fungible when it comes to the highest paid employees at a Univeristy, not just SLU.

The point remains that media availability likely comes from someone above the athletic department Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I honestly think the University would be taking a lot of risk if they allowed anything to be said or published by their senior members, including May and Ford. That is, until this case (both in terms of the law and the University rules) is closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseman Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Having had a high public profile job at one time I often would have to talk to the media or was called by the media for a statement. All the media experts tell you the worst thing to say is "no comment". What they advise is to simply decline the interview or be prepared to explain why you and your organization are bound by privacy laws that prevent you from discussing the topic. Media people know the answer to that already and usually stop. The letter Pestello put out says this so no need to say anything more. Any media person not understanding this is just showing their stupidity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It typically only take a few minutes for you to respond. fckdude he answered the ? where was Martin?. We can all agree he'd be good one to have the answer on here, same as if I asked how's the food these days at Kenrick Seminary I'd be betting Glorydaz would answer. b cool if you could not point out every time your 5th column MU guys post something about MU. imho more bothersome than the posts your pissed about.

almaman Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Of the 3 players coach mentioned Roby the only one that most would reasonably project to be one our top 6 players. If he didn't mention any of the perps which one could well assume he wouldn't then all four guys would be in amongst the rest of the team. There are 9 other scholarship guys. One's Welmer who is surely not top six guys on roster. That leaves 8. If Welmer is not one of the 4 then 4 of those 8 are the perps. 5 of those are 5 of the top 6 players on the team.

HoosierPal Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 This clip was good, hearing the details on four types of rebounding. These basic details are many times the difference between winning and losing - long shot rebounding, short shot rebounding, transitional rebounding and rotational rebounding. I frankly had never heard the term rotational rebounding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's irrelevant that Agbeko had more career rebounds than Loe. Why look up facts when you can make them up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
