[QUOTE="Techster, post: 509948, member: 360"] I think CGC gets the whole, "You scratch my back I scratch your back" thing. There's mutual respect thing that happens with coaches and the media. Doesn't mean you need to cow tow to them, or slobber all over their mike, but if you treat them with respect and keep discussions positive as opposed to antagonistic, the media will try to work with you. You look at Josh Pastner. The bball teams is NOT good, but they local media always has nice things to say about Pastner and our bball program. I think CPJ tended to take everything too personally, and became antagonistic. Actually, it was a running joke among the media that CPJ would fight you if you questioned him or his system. Coaches, players, ADs, etc...they're never gonna beat the media. The media always has the last word. What's the saying? The pen is mightier than the sword? True since Roman times, true today. I like that CGC understands he's the figurehead for GT, and understands having a good relationship with the media is a good thing for him and more importantly, our program. [/QUOTE]
