Huh?


Something I don't understand:
It was reported yesterday by Drew Deener, and other members in the media, that Tracy Webster's office had been cleaned out. In fact, Deener said that that he was 100% certain and there was no doubt in his mind that it was accurate.
Why then, has there been no follow-up story? Why hasn't a reporter gone immediately to the Craft Center to verify this rumor? Why hasn't there been a TV camera stuck in Webster's face, asking him if the rumors were true? Why not ask BCG? He should know why (or whether) his assistant has cleaned out his office. It would seem to me that this would be a rumor that could be easily verified. Much easier than outing these unnamed sources are and why they know what they know.
It seems like there would be plenty of motivation to finding this stuff out. How much of a career-maker would it be to track down the truth and report it first?
All I see right now is a bunch of journalists sitting behind their desks or in their offices and saying what they have heard, instead of going out and digging up the scoop.
It makes me wonder if someone actually has tracked down the truth, and that truth didn't necessarily support what they wanted to report. And since it didn't support what they wanted, they sat on it.

  1. Unless it was the type of "cleaning out his office" that every teacher/instructor does at the end of a school year.

    My sources are saying its 100% Donovan......or Calipari.......or Gillispie.......or Ford........or even someone else.

  2. If it was just an end-of-the-year clean-up, and not a clean out, then that ought to be easy to find out. I can't understand why a John Clay or a Larry Vaught hasn't gotten out and done some actual legwork on this as opposed to just sitting back and reporting on what they have heard.
