It's low class to lead with Book. Pascoe's continual push on the NCAA issues gets old. I haven't seen an article of his that doesn't mention it.
Exactly when is there a point where we just mention basketball?
Touchy. Just a list of what should be available vs. what is.
"We" can just mention basketball all we want. Check the message board. It doesn't happen. Turns out, we are curious. To expect the media to ignore the same is unrealistic.
It will be referred to all year, and certainly in a situation where there are suspensions (for whatever reason). There will never be a situation where it's just basketball this year. It will never be the case where being opaque is rewarded.
"Well, he never answers, so I'll stop asking." Not gonna happen. Can't go back to the editor and say you didn't ask about something everyone wonders about. Can't assume (a bad word in journalism) what will occur. I realize that can be irritating, but they are doing their jobs.
You can't presume every reader hoovers up every morsel the way that fans who post thousands of time do. So you will see background information over and over. For some readers, it will be informative. It's like the games themselves, where you hear for the umpteenth time that Trier missed games last year or somebody put up 500 shots a day over the summer or somebody lifted whatever in the weight room (preferably weights) or that Miller was on "The Tonight Show" and on and on.
Tedious for the obsessives (like me). Informative for the casuals (most people).
Right where I want to be.
