it's a valid question, though: why no one really questions Jones about much of anything.

he might glare back! Of course question should be asked

You guys do know that Rich Phillips is employed by SMU as the play-by-play guy, right? If you want to keep your job, you don't ask questions of your coach -- your co-worker -- that add embarrassment after a loss, regardless of the opponent. He actually did a good job considering the game he had just watched, and frankly, what JJ said was about as good as anyone could expect from a coach after such a disappointing loss. There's no way to spin that positively, but Rich did a relatively solid job with that post-game Q&A dance.

question was eventually asked...and I'm satisfied with the answer. Tough call that could have gone either way but at that moment of the game, I would have gone for it

For all the crap Rich took from Doherty over the years, he should have cart blanche to ask whatever he wants.
