I'm not saying what Hope did was "kosher". What I am saying is that our coach should talk about and take care of his own house. This is only an issue because Rodrigues made it an issue. No journalist asked about it, instead our beloved Dick Rod brought it to light in his first sentence of the press conference. What a baby. Why didn't he talk about how well the Wolverines played, that it was a close game that was determined by some special teams plays.
I guess this is the new Michigan way. We are so used to winning, that when we lose (which we do a lot lately) we have to change the subject and deflect the attention to something else.

In the post game press conference, Dick Rod attempts to take the attention away from the loss - so he spends a few minutes weeping like a baby about how his feelings got bruised by the opposing coach.
And you call it "low class" by the Purdue's coach Hope. What an idiot. You cannot see it for what it is? Dick Rod (and you) say "it wasn't anything I (Rodrigues) did". When in fact the rest of the Big Ten knows that he made an issue of it after Jonas Mouton was suspended.
At least Danny Hope had the decency when asked about it, that "it is between Coach Rodrigues and myself".
But I guess that is "low class" also. I usually like your blog, but you are way off base on this one.

"Rodriguez was visibly very upset and confused about the whole situation."

The confused statement seems to be Rodriguez's mo.
