How to handle being Gundied.

In addition to noting that the coach refused to allow interviews with his player, make sure to get at least one comment -- no matter how innocuous -- from an opposing player. That will almost guarantee the parents going apeshit.

New reporter, three months on the job.

Long story short, the team I cover wins their huge rivalry game after losing three of their last four. I go to talk to the quarterback that gained 361 yards rushing and scored four touchdowns, and the head coach tells me I can only talk to the right tackle or the center. After letting him know politely that this wasn't ideal, he flips out on me, get in my face and informs me that "He's got a team to run, no one gives a damn about the offensive line" and goes on to essentially blame the paper for his team's crappy run up to this point.

So the question is, how the hell do you deal with something like that? I basically told him it wasn't my job to run his team, and that I had a job to do and a story to write. At that point an assistant coach came and separated us (I wasn't screaming, he was). Oh snap.

If "no one gives a damn about the offensive line," then why does he want you to talk to the right tackle or center?

Because he wants someone to give a damn about the offensive line, I'd wager. Sounds like a coach with too much time on his hands.

Oh, I get it.
