Is Jason now working for the Fayetteville Observer?

Do you get kickbacks for being featured in the video atop their article? I'd recognize those dulcet tones anywhere.

So, the few times I have been in locker rooms I have noticed this happen to me each time. I don't know if the other reporters don't want to ask their own questions or something but there always seem to be a few who sorta follow me around and capture all the stuff I am asking the players. It happened when I was at McDonald All-American media day last year, when I was in the locker room after the Ga Tech game in 2018, and when I spoke to Marvin and Harry after a Kings game a couple months ago. It is no big deal and I am sorta flattered.

AOC's confidence does appear to be improving. I think his offense would flourish in a system like UVA's where he would run around multiple screens and have open 3 point shots. So far in Duke's system he tends to defer to RJ, Zion and Cam and of course well he should as they are special players. My view is he could also be a high volume scorer and may find himself in that position next year as his confidence should continnue to improve and he may add some weight and strength as he further matures.

I enjoyed the episode but I thought you were going to record with a live audience at the JB Duke bar? Did that get scuttled when Jason went to the locker room for his now famous interviews instead of heading to the bar right after the game? http://www.crazietalk.net/ourhouse/images/smilies/devil9f.gif

Jason did your DBR press credentials get you on press row or did you use some CNN juice?

We did a little research but were unable to make the whole live podcast thing work. We are hoping to do one in the fall. We were having such a good time just chatting with folks at the bar that we forgot to record it. There may have been liquids involved in our forgetfulness.

DBR. I would only use CNN status to get me into something I was covering for CNN.
