That type of reply and approach is hardly limited to our HC. Most Coaches today keep injury related issues close to the vest. Nobody was more secretive than Dave Brock. Some of us would ask at TD Club lunches about players that had been dinged the game before and he would let us have it for even asking.

I'm not talking about Dave Brock or Nick Saban. I'm talking about our current coach who appears to be pissed every time he hears the word injury from anyone in the media. Yet, that's their job to ask.That simply . You already know that I had a contact with a certain key player last season and Ryan's comments about his injuries didn't always match up to the real story.

I've talked with some of our media friends and it's perplexing to them and also to us who want to know as much about our team as possible so don't be so sensitive when I nitpick Ryan. I just happened to listen to his CAA interview this morning and he was rude to Rich I thought.

It is what it is I guess but this is a message board that promotes opinions and mine is not a favorable one on that subject.

Didn't mean to hurt any feelings.

Hummm. And some how we never heard anyone “nitpick” Brock about it. But yeah, it would be nitpicking to focus on not talking about injuries rather than the disastrous destruction of the program and historic losing under Brock’s regime. At least the current nitpicking comes as Carty is 11-6 overall and 3-1 this season and coming off a really important win. And now we are adding “rude” to the list of Carty complaints. Can’t make this stuff up.

HZ, you aren't hurting anyone's feelings. Not sure why you keep posting that comment. I simply shared an opinion that many football coaches are tight lipped regarding injuries. I was also offering a personal experience on the same subject when I asked a previous Delaware HC who bit my head off for simply asking. I wasn't actually disagreeing with your comments just offering a perspective! And you aren't the only one who's talked to our Media members and I wish they'd change access to practice and Info but they don't. No need to be so sensitive every time someone doesn't respond the exact same way you do.

I also simply shared the opinion that I thought Ryan has become a bit paranoid and rude about the subject. We all know he is not the only coach in the USA who has taken this attitude. Doesn't justify it. The comment needed no responce . I had a conversation with 2 different media guys as well as hearing the CAA interview comment and thought it was worth mentioning . It's history with me as was the practice bans. In responce I get you and 79Hens as usual trying to build a case for a coach who is building his own case and doesn't need constant defense.

Geez, if you re-read my post you won't see anything about me disagreeing just sharing a thought lotsa Coaches do this and related experience on the subject you raised. Sorry you didn't see that.

Word on the street is that Carty has a "tip" guy with him whenever he's in public to do the quick math and make sure he's not undertipping, ever. Now he's got to see if the same guy can be a "rude" monitor and nudge him whenever he's not being perfectly considerate at all times.

Good one. Says what everyone else is thinking right now.

And a parking spot picker too. Carty brings him golfing as well and also has them select his hotel rooms when on the road. A real Jack of all trades.

Little is known about the guy that polishes Carty’s rings, but he plays an important part when recruits come to UD. Lighting is critical…getting that flash *just right* to get the recruit’s attention can make the difference when landing the great players.

Thanks to Big R for the rundown. In future years, thousands will claim to have attended Saturday's thriller, though hundreds actually did. It was a terrific game to watch live and in person.

I understand that revealing injuries is an issue for a limited number of P5 coaches like Brian Kelly, who believe that issuing injury reports or otherwise commenting on injuries lessens the possibility of nefarious stuff between gamblers and players/coaches in the know. OTOH, the vast majority don't see the value in providing the opposition with that sort of intel.

Media has the right to ask, and coaches have the right to not provide a response. Until such time that it becomes mandatory to disclose player injuries, who really cares? It has little to no impact on Joe Fan doing what he does best - spectating from the stands or watching on the screen.

Yes, lost in some of this is we had a Huge win for the program Saturday night. Still a little hourse from yelling. Next Home game sold out
