- Before we open it up for questions,
let me just say ... the coaches coached,
the players played, and
there are a lot of repressed
emotions present on stage right now.
- [Reporter] Star Player,
were there any moments in the game?
- There were a lot of moments.
Some good, some bad,
man, I'm just so proud
of these guys, I mean,
each and every one of them
put in a mathematically
impossible amount of effort tonight.
I mean, hey. Like this guy. I mean,
he really stepped it up tonight.
You know, now we finally
understand that inside joke
about how short he is.
(crowd laughter)
- [Reporter] How did
injuries and referees effect
the outcome?
- Those game changing incidents in no way
changed the game.
- Sad reporter, sports
section, local paper, so ...
Lot of ups, lot of downs in
this game, and in my stomach,
because I live through this team ...
Can you walk me through how I'm supposed
to be feeling right now?
- This season's a lot like a
metaphor that I like to use.
You know, it only makes sense sometimes.
Cause metaphors can change. Like similes.
- Attractive female sideline reporter,
major sports network. Grizzled
Coach, we saw some very
unusual defensive stats and
a very specific record set,
that only someone with a deep
understanding of the game
and its history can appreciate.
So my question is, will you
show me the same respect
that you give my male colleagues?
- As you can see, I'm
definitely looking you
directly in the eyes right
now, even as I prepare
to make a reputation solidifying quip.
Because, listen.
Your question implies that I have respect
for anyone in this room.
And we all know that just isn't true.
(crowd laughter)
- Young male blogger, sports hits dot com,
great game, you guys fought hard.
Can I get a quote to take out of context?
- You know I can't do that, man.
My number one priority is
to stay out of the news.
- So you're confirming that
your number one priority
isn't the team.
Send that ... thanks, I owe you one.
- [Moderator] Okay, we have the contract
for one more question.
(crowd shouts out questions)
- Coach! Coach! Coach! When
the game was on the line,
you made a decision that
didn't pan out. Obviously.
Why didn't you decide
to do the other thing
that would have panned
out one hundred percent?
I mean, that's what I would have done.
The thing that would have worked.
The thing that you didn't do.
- I'm sorry, who are you?
- Obnoxious reporter,
some east coast paper.
- Look, I've been at this a long time.
You can't always make
the perfect decision.
Sometimes you do things you regret.
Like lose your temper
at a press conference,
after a dumb question,
and have an outburst that gets
played over and over again
for years!
And that's how you're remembered?
And that's how you're remembered?
That's how you're remembered!
That one angry outburst
at a press conference
after a dumb question!
That's how you're remembered!
- This is my reaction to his
reaction, what's your reaction?
- I disagree with passion.
- That's the wrong reaction!
- Hey guys ...
It's been fifteen minutes,
can we start discussing
overrated collegiate award
winner, underperforming
at the professional level?
(commentators arguing)
- Thank you.
