Jim Boylen does not appreciate stupid questions

I don't know how college coaches do it.

After a game that they put, in the grand scheme of things, far too much effort into, they are asked to go speak to the media in a press conference before their sweat has even dried. Many times, the first look a coach is getting at a box score after a game comes at the press conference.

And these guys are expected to turn off their emotion and give clear, concise, and honest answers to a group of reporters.

As you can imagine, sometimes even the trained professionals can be bothered by it.

Today's example? No, not Jim Calhoun, Jim Boylen, the head coach of Utah.



I love that you can hear someone say in the background "show some class" to Boylen. His response should have been "show some talent." What kind of reaction did you think he was going to have? Essentially, the reporter asked "you guys got your asses handed to you by BYU. You know that one part of the second half where you were really, really getting your ass handed to you? How did that feel?"

Boylen answered "like shit."

Clear, concise, and honest, no?

Anyway, that reporter got a few zings in on Utah and Boylen in his column the next day. Too bad everyone watches youtube and no one reads the paper.
