I find too many "journalists" ask questions they answer themselves
Question: "What does it say about the resilience and toughness of your defense that you were able to hold ..."
Answer: "It says our defense was resilient and tough'
Question: "What does it say about the trust and togetherness of the team that .."
Answer: "It says our teammates trust each other. There is a togetherness ..."
Question: "How valuable are the early season games that allow you to play a bunch of players, test lineups, and build depth before you start conference play?"
Answer: "We use the early season games to test lineups, build depth, and players an opportunity to show what they can do before we get to conference play."
Yes, the point is maybe the player or coach will "elaborate" but I do not like press conference questions where essentially the reporter tells you the answer to the question in the question.
