Knapp, you know as well as everyone else, you wouldn't get half way through either one of those questions without him interrupting and telling you to shut up.
The media needs to learn how to work with Bo because he is not a typical spotlight-loving coach. If they asked the right questions he would give some nice quotes and sound bytes. As it is, they asks all the wrong questions and get nothing worthwhile to talk about.
imho, the questions in bold would get the best quotes out of him. At least they'd have something to put in their articles.
Agreed, but that doesn't mean the questions don't need to be asked. Think of it like a football game. You know darned good and well that the trap isn't going to work, but you keep calling that play because (you hope) the safeties creep up and they fall victim to the play-action. It's a process, sometimes.
Some reporters (I believe I've mentioned Eric Olson) go about it the wrong way, and if you pay attention to Bo's pressers he really doesn't like Olson, and lets him have it many times. Others, including most of the beat writers from Lincoln and Omaha, have established a rapport with Bo, and sooner or later it'll come out in print what happened, and why.
These questions aren't always the quickly flowing river. Sometimes they're the little drip on the stone that, over time, erodes a passage. That's what the locals are dealing with when it comes to Bo. He's softening.
