“We wanted to get Colt in to hear coach’s postgame speech,” he said. “I wasn’t denying access. I wanted Colt to hear coach talk. I felt we needed to get him inside.”

“Right after the speech, Colt went out and did the interview,” he added. “I explained the situation to them. They were happy in the end. … Normally we set these [post-game interviews] up before [the game]. They’ll say, ‘This is who we want to talk to.’ They didn’t do that.”
