Before the age of youtube or national TV coverage of every NCAA championship game if this were caught on video this would be the gold standard of post game interviews.

I doubt there is a clip on line, but one I’ll always remember watching during finals week in McCormick in 1995. Utah had just beaten Houston in game 4. Warren Moon was the sideline reporter:

Moon: “Karl, what do you need to do to beat the Rockets in game 5?”

Karl Malone: “Score more points than they do” (walks away).

Moon: “uh yeah. Back to you.”
“You either smoke or you get smoked. And you got smoked.”

Two of my favorites are Marshawn and Kawhi. They're both hugely funny but for completely different reasons. Marshawn is so charismatic but doesn't want to talk to anyone. Kawhi is practically a robot.


This is perfect:

Saying "not right now" instead of just saying like "dinner at grandma's" or some generic answer is pure comedy.

That was great, vintage Al being the character he was.

And everything like that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZmKnfDwTRc

That reporter showed remarkable restraint. There's no way I could have made it through that interview without dropping one in:  "Moving on against Stillwater in the semifinals...your initial thoughts on the big matchup and everything like that?"

Yeah...I probably wouldn't be a very good reporter.

both are classics!  This one wasn't the first time Arreola went uncensored in the right after a loss;

You know it is a tough loss when the coach ends the post game press conference telling the media he is a sinner, but God blessed the program and they will be back.

This game featured a controversial fair/foul Home Run call in the 11th that lead to Louisville being ousted from the 2015 Super Regional.

The fact that whoever was asking the question was being such a dick about it makes his answer so good.

There’s a good one with Bill Parcells where a reporter asks him a question, Parcells goes off on the reporter who you can then hear try to re-word the question while Parcells continues to rip him a new one. The reporter is an MU class of ‘91 grad and all around great guy.

I can’t remember the question, but will try to find it.

Edit:  here’s the quote. Cannot find video

"That's a dumb question. You don't know what you're talking about. You're a jerk. Out-coached? Did everyone in this room out-write you today?" - New England Coach Bill Parcells, upset at a question asked by reporter about whether he thought he outcoached Pete Carroll of the Jets.
