Coaches are put in a weird position when stuff like this (whatever it is) happens. Their number one priority is their players - far beyond responsibilities to the media and fans. Donovan has to act in Wilkebin's best interest and knows that there's risk in any amount of information he puts out there. Its also a difficult position in that the greater the severity of punishment (lack of a better term), the greater the strain it can put on the teams success. Luckily, in basketball, these early games don't mean tons and really don't even affect a teams seeding as much as the sheer randomness of how the committee can seed teams at times.
