They rarely ask him hard questions--they say they will, but once the interview starts they pander to him.
Is it that he is an intimidating tough guy with a meathead and a big chin? Scares this whimps behind the mic when he glares at them or acts like a bully?
Or is it that they have been desperate to be friends with him because they are all Ute fanboys that squeel like teenage girls when he walks by?
Seriously, ask him the tough questions today. Big city media would--it would be good for SLC media to grow a pair. If it pisses him or Harlan off, then that becomes its own news item. And if Ute PR pulls credentials, that also becomes its own news story. Fact is, Utah athletics has had a terrible year, there are tough questions to be had about the Cam Rising stuff, and the Whitt/Scalley thing is weird. Ask the questions.
