I’m watching the Harris press conference, finally. Harris is hardly a sparkling speaker, but from the get go, he sounded and looked defeated. Not angry or defensive. Just subdued and defeated. Like he realized, that the way Pitt lost, was all on him and he was going down for it.
Even as he spent, well over 5 minutes answering questions over the sequence leading to “slide right.” It wasn’t angry over having to keep defending it. It came off as more pleading, “Come on guys, you understand, or you should.”
At around 13 minutes, he all but begged to have questions about Temple, not the UConn game.
After watching the press conference, I almost feel sorry for Walt. Of course, then I think about the slide, and the feeling goes away.
