Question in there about Howard’s vision for roster building (portal vs HS) but he mostly ghosted it by listing off things that have happened.

It’s so odd to me the relative softballs that Juwan gets asked in every single one of these. No one pushed back and no one comes prepared with facts and statistics to ask about.

Not really defending anyone, but I think most media on these calls is trying to get something/anything out of Howard to use in their articles.
They need to write something about Senior Day, for example. Generally, I’d say pre-game availabilities are just a coach being helpful to journalists to fill their stories.
Not really sure what cutting edge question is going to get something productive out of Howard that’s going to be useful in someone’s story.
To be fair, there’s nothing really useful in them now either.
It’s not even like there’s something controversial to discuss (rotations or something) that you could get an answer. It’s just a bad team in a bad season that is almost mercifully to the end.
