Not sure how to say this, but Kalani is a little "touchy" in his press contacts

Zip

Sep 17, 12:49pm

He especially seems to have beef with Mitch Harper for some reason

Harper asks about injury status

I'mBatman

Sep 17, 12:53pm

Not every player wants it disclosed. I tend to lean to transparency

ParentingNotForSissy

What right does media have to college athletes injury status?

arcawley

Sep 17, 2:09pm

With the huge growth of gambling on college FB, injuries should be disclosed

texaskevin

Sep 17, 3:30pm

Nah. A player’s medical information doesn’t have to made public just to facilitate gambling. If you don’t feel like you

It’s also partially fairness in play

I'mBatman

Sep 17, 4:54pm

No. They have the roster. Any coach could sit one guy and play another without any notice to the opposition and no one

This is laughably ridiculous

OldFogey

Sep 17, 3:59pm

People can laugh if they want but this is the main reason pro leagues take injury reports so seriously

22jrob22

Sep 17, 4:26pm

Yep, not sure why some seem to have a hard time grasping this.

notsofast

Sep 17, 4:46pm

And the college policy opens up a world of possibilities for corruption tbh

YOHONOMOTO

Sep 17, 5:00pm

Haha. No. That's why they call it gambling.

Great38

Sep 17, 5:44pm

Easy solution…don’t gamble

arcawley

Sep 17, 5:57pm

As soon they began paying them $$ it should be a right to everyone to know

MrSandman

Sep 17, 5:10pm

Why? Everyone is entitled to know about a player’s injury? I’m fine with that policy.

mvtoro

Sep 17, 2:53pm

That's strange because Mitch isn't overly critical of the staff.

Kalani seemed to take issue with Harper's question about how this 3-0 team is

Do you read CB? There is a very vocal contingent that IS his enemy….

Do you seriously think he spends time reading CB

Sep 17, 3:21pm

Then why does he know people are underestimating him?

Honestly probably dates back to the pre-season expectations

Sounds like he reads the situation accurately.

kccougar

Sep 17, 12:55pm

Half of CB - "Fire Kalani!"....also, why is he so touchy?

Yep. Same dudes who say “why did you look at me that way?!?”

cougarbob137

Sep 17, 1:05pm

He’s way better than many. He speaks pretty favorably of the fans.

RobDog

Sep 17, 1:06pm

He ALWAYS praises the fans, apologizes to the fans, and thanks the fans. Without fail.

kccougar

Sep 17, 1:11pm

its because he IS a fan. Fan before he was a player and before he was a coach

LeonMarek

Sep 17, 1:21pm

^^^This. I’m okay with him being chippy with the press. A lot of great coaches

CornfedCougar

Sep 17, 8:13pm

He’s this way starting this year because fans are so negative. He used to be so

I like edgy Kalani. He definitely has a chip on his shoulder this year. Let's

After starting 3-0, the first three questions at his Monday presser were all

Junior Deputy

Sep 17, 1:14pm

Are there fans asking these questions or reporters?

Blue for Life

Sep 17, 1:16pm

Reporters. Kalani said nothing about fans- the OP brought fans into it.

Junior Deputy

Sep 17, 2:25pm

I second this. Hard to be composed when you’re 3-0 & media basically ignores it

arcawley

Sep 17, 2:12pm

Well to be fair to the media we also started off 3-0 with a similar non-conf

Some fans are a little touchy if how kalani addresses the media triggers them.

boctabulous

Sep 17, 4:59pm

Why wouldn’t he be? I can’t blame him … especially since they fawn over others.

BluesBrother

Sep 17, 5:17pm

Kalani is an open book with the media compared to Bronco.

HiLife

Yeah I’ve noticed that he’s a bit more defensive lately.

WillsPitStop

What do you expect? The press are all pharisees and sadducees.

This is upsetting. Coaches usually bring flowers and donuts for the media.

Sorry, but I find this post completely laughable. I listen to all of kalani’s press conferences and media availability.
