It’s Official - Tiffany Jackson

The press conference is here:


Really interesting facts or implications came out of Q/A. I think the "freshman" that KA referenced was probably Destinee. Some of the things said made me feel better about the hire. I didn't want to hire "just a star", but someone who could "think ahead" and teach that to the posts.
 
The press conference is here:


Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure that was Kirk Bohls who called her Tina twice and then asked about her contacting her dad for advice. What a hack - do the minimum amount of background before showing up at a press conference. Ugh.

I believe it was Rick Cantu. It was cringe-worthy.
 
Wow, just to see Coach Karen's and Tiffany's face when that question about her father was asked. Well done Tiffany for extending grace.

And no one, as far as I can search, has called out that questioner for being:
a) uninformed about the person they were questioning - that's Tiffany right? Not Tina?
b) dumbass for making a painful reference

I asked Rick Cantu, in a comment to his tweet about this news conference, if he was the journalist in question, who called Tiffany ‘Tina.’ Twice. No response yet!
 
Seemed to me like the interview was edited a little short at the end. Wondering if there is a complete version somewhere.
 
And that's why I dropped my subscription years ago!
But half the fun is lambasting them to their bosses via email when they make an error like that. :smile1:

That won't be the reason I drop my subscription. It will be because I have decided thatthe cost is not worth the return and sports is just part of the equation. Other parts include info about the Austin area, entertainment going on, movies, UT sports, etc. Still lots of things to like about it.

The writing errors and lack of detail in some articles (not just sports) is common nowadays, sad to say. Including here, other forums, other newspapers, ebooks, blogs, etc.

But I got a feeling your issue with the AAS is more than the lack of detail in a story since you seem to like to espouse why you dropped your AAS subscription what seems like every chance there is.
 
Just noticed that Tiffany liked my response. Made me laugh out loud — thought I’d share.

Really really disappointed that we have a presser for a dynamite hire and have multiple epic failures. Calling her Tina once is forgivable but multiple times? And going on to ask if she called her late father?? Just lacking basic reporting principles!!

Hopefully his errors were brought to his attention and he will be more prepared moving forward.

So true, but one really has to wonder about the prep work the reporter assigned for several years now to the WBB team is doing if he is so unprepared for such an important press conference.
