    BREAKING NEWS

    You have the right to ask the questions, granted. The coaches have the right (and the responsibility) to answer them as they see fit. Kirk's MO is pretty well known after 13 years as HC......why ask the questions, other than to frustrate yourself? Kirk is no different than Hayden....or...
