Mike Fisher over on Dallas Basketball is reporting something that I find curious. It’s about Josh Howard, who today apologized for his many screw-ups, including, most recently, saying that he doesn’t cotton to The Star-Spangled Banner because he’s black. Here’s the part of Fish’s report that caught my eye:
Additionally, I have it on good authority that the Mavs PR-coaching efforts here not only included staff higher-ups (including Cuban, Donnie and Carlisle) but also some members of the media, who were asked by the club to hint at the sort of questions their erstwhile All-Star might face.
I read that right? Media types coached Josh Howard in preparation for his news conference today? If any of those media types were people who cover the team, they should be fired immediately. And, Fish, if you know their names, you should publish them. Because that just ain’t right.
On the other hand, if Cuban is hiring media coaches for the team, Eric is available.
