Miami of Ohio head coach Charlie Coles.
Charlie Coles did what so few coaches can do: answered a silly question he thought was stupid and turned it into a funny.
After his RedHawks blew an 18-point lead and were knocked out in dramatic fashion thanks to John Wall, Coles handled himself and the loss with as much self deprecation and admiration of his opponent as you could ask for. If only all the coaches were so welcoming at a presser.
The audio, linked below, gets good around two minutes in. Coles teases reporter Dick Gabriel who asks, “How’d this one get away from you?” Give it a listen to hear where he takes the post-game interview.
Now, with video! Even better!
