And why shouldn't a player be allowed to comment or question his coach? If the press asks them questions or asks for a comment, are they supposed to lie?

Not lie, but all players need to learn what their place in the team is and what leadership is...
the news media will exploit them and ruin the career without a care.

he needs to learn to defer the question.....

Also, if all players are allowed to talk, you would not only have chaos, but will likely give emotional ammunition to other teams, it is a no win situation....
that's the coaches job.....certainly not a freshman's job
