I still think the medical and student privacy issues were a big reason why Barta and Ferentz did not want to meet the press until sufficient facts were gathered and privacy laws reviewed.
As Coach Ferentz said in yesterday's press conference, "I'd encourage people to know the facts and know the people involved".
I think in this case, in dealing with sensitive issues, we need to trust Coach Ferentz and the Iowa administration when to hold a press conference. It would be foolish to call a conference in haste and make inaccurate comments or say something that breaks the law.
Folks said Ferentz hit a home run in the press conference yesterday. Could these folks have said the same a week ago? I think not.
