[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 822132, member: 282"] There is “big corporate” and there is “small corporate”. In small corporate, you’re largely making your own talking points. In large corporate, your PR/corporate communications people are writing your talking points out. The GTAA has media relations people, but we’re probably somewhere in between the big and small corporate as far as our media relations are concerned. We should have had clear talking points for this question, especially going on 680 for a planned conversation. You should have rehearsed it a couple of times. I’m not sure if we didn’t have anything clear written up, or if we had exactly what Stansbury said, or if Stansbury elaborated on his talking points (you shouldn’t elaborate). This statement is also a side item. He’s talked to our money people. They want winning to start now. They care far more about the rest of the season and our NIU game than they care about what nobody heard on 680. He can’t worry about sunk costs—he has Collins as his HC and he has X amount of undesignated funds to work with and maybe he has a (virtual) rolodex and some other options—his focus should be on how to get the best results from where we are right now with an accurate inventory of our assets. {I still have a Rolodex—it’s like an antique now} That’s one reason I should listen to the interview an hear what he said in context. Generally speaking, the thornier the question you’re answering, the shorter your answer should be. Not a one-word answer, but the more you say, the more ambiguity you add, and the more room you add for misinterpretations. So, keep it short and crisp. I think how we practice has something to do with this. Having fun, having the DJ, getting the players engaged shouldn’t be totally incompatible with lining up quickly, getting quick reps in, and learning disciplined playing practices. This team has most of the players who lost to The Citadel and to Syracuse. We’ve had two seasons of more losses than wins. I don’t understand how you don’t come out against a team like NIU with your hair on fire looking for a win. To their credit, I think the receivers did—they just didn’t get the ball enough until the second half. [/QUOTE]
