How did your paper play the texts?

How did your fishwrap/birdcage liner/rag play the NCAA proposed ban on text messaging? Ours took wire and inserted reaction from our local coaches. I bet this was a common play. Anyone else? Anyone get any good reax worth sharing?

 

If Podunk U's coach wasn't a first-class prick who "respected the media's job", we'd have done the same thing. As is, it ended up being one of only two non-local bylines in our rag today (Buherle's no-no as the other).

Oh, and Mr. Rules often improves his lie during seasons not winter.

Does Podunk U. not have a basketball program? Last I checked, it has a coach whose outerwear can be spotted from across the Podunk River from the Podunk Press' offices.

 

Podunk U. does indeed have a select group of cagers, of whom their star pointe guard was columnized about by the esteemed Podunk Press SE today.

We ran that and the Supreme Court dealing with high school recruitng story inside. Just AP, may do something later.

 

Had staff writers do the leg work; they talked to a couple of coaches at smaller universities in the area and some "expert," but didn't get a quote from big State U's. Also got a good graf about a local kid who bought an extra phone just to handle the texts.
