Not one, because it's given to me each time, because there were certain people I didn't want in the room, but when it comes to asking specific questions, and of course she didn't ask a question, it was a statement, when you, I do not ever get the questions in advance.

What I do do is prepare the manager or the GM or myself for what I think the questions are going to be so we've got answers ready to go that we want to give to the media.

But if there's ever a situation and it happened where I didn't like the question,

I didn't like the tone.

I didn't like the coverage.

We had the ultimate power, which was to not allow that person in again.

Secondly, we choose who asked the question.

There is someone in charge of each presser who's there in the PR team.

They point.

It's sort of like a White House briefing where there's an order, there's seniority, and we would control who would ask questions.

John, of course, try to not just think of the, you know, since 2016 in the real world of press availability at the White House, there is a there is a an order.

There's a place where people sit that and that's the same in sports.

I don't consider myself woke, John, at all.

What I consider myself is someone who understands the value of time.

And that was a waste of time for everyone there who's doing their job.

and there's a limited amount of time that they have to do it.

And it's just the wrong venue.

You can appreciate the sentiment, but understand the incorrect nature of the timing.

And that's all that, my point was, is that I don't want anybody's time wasted, my head coach,

or any members of the media, that is not the place.
