This would not have been the proper forum for that. I'm not sure how OB could have produced an entire article about a person whose existence he had no prior knowledge of without speaking to Regis one-on-one for more infoEmilio Fantastico said:Tamuco99 said:I was thinking: "What in the world do you need to know their names for?

Well, to be fair, I'm guessing he asked for completeness for an article he was planning to write.
And I can only guess that the circumstances of the uncle's death were not something Regis wanted brought up
It would have been very hard to know that was going to be an uncomfortable topic just to ask for their names (and yes I'm sure he was doing so just thinking of an article he'd write). Albert handled it well and politely declined. There was no ill will and wasn't innapropriate for Olin to ask. I have no doubt he wouldn't have asked if he had any idea it would be uncomfortable to share. I thought both handled it very well.Tamuco99 said:This would not have been the proper forum for that.

Was the question inappropriate? Of course not. Was the question awkward and absolutely unnecessary? Without a doubt.Gyles Marrett said:It would have been very hard to know that was going to be an uncomfortable topic just to ask for their names (and yes I'm sure he was doing so just thinking of an article he'd write).

The interview was fantastic. His bit he shared about Elijah and his influence both on the field and off just as a person gave incredible insight into why he is such a great recruiter. Honest and caring coaches that can demonstrate a true interest in the players lives and future successes whatever path they take make great recruiters. Guarantee you momma's can see right through a fake coach when they make an in home visit.
There's a lot of questions that are not necessary that get asked. Happens at every press conference. Necessary is relative to viewpoint. Given that it wasn't inappropriate, even though to us it seems unnecessary, I'm sure to Olin from the viewpoint of a journalist and writing an article it seems more necessary than not to improve his article. To me the names if I were reading a story about it are meaningless. Journalists often view that differently.Tamuco99 said:Was the question inappropriate? Of course not.
