Being confronted by a coach...

Sports Journalists Forum – Media, Newsroom & Reporting Talk

The coaches I hate the most are the ones who "demand" coverage or try and bully us into writing something they want written.

I've always wanted to reply, "Coach, you let me call the plays Friday night, deal."
Those don't bother me, as long as they come to me first. Just don't go behind my back to my boss, or his boss, without coming to see me first.
 
I've known reporters who take it personal when they get blown off or get short answers from a coach who just suffered an excruciating loss. This is ridiculous to me. As much as I know it's our job, talking to reporters isn't always something these people want to do after a brutal loss in a profession based off wins and losses. Don't take it personal.
You mean like a number of those who have covered Gregg Popovich?
