Press Conference Tuesday: Ken Bone And Donnie Marbut

It's that day of the week. Here are the videos, courtesy of the WSU sports information department, of the respective teleconferences of basketball coach Ken Bone and baseball coach Donnie Marbut.

By the way, we never recapped the weekend's baseball action and still don't really have time to, but if you're curious what went down in the doubleheader on Saturday, check out Brett Gleason's WSU Baseball Blog (game one here, game two here).

Video after the jump.

EDIT: Vince Grippi wrote down some of the highlights in his post, and something stuck out to me:

Asked about his expectations, Bone said in terms of wins and losses, this team is about where he thought it would be. Of course, some of the losses were disappointing but a couple of the wins made him ecstatic.  

Bone was hammered by Ian Furness and Jason Puckett on KJR last week after an interview they did with Bone for him saying that this team was about where he expected it to be. They never really asked him what he meant, then flamed him for his answer. This is what he meant. And I think it speaks to the questions raised in Grady's post below.

When we say this is an average team, that's exactly what we mean.

Listening to Marbut makes me very excited about this year's baseball team.

He shows a lot more enthusiasm in pressers than does Wulff or Bone.

He's great with the media

On Furness the other day he won me over. Said everything you wanted to hear a coach say.

Ken Bone is definitely not a media darling…

Speaking of media darling.

Who are the Pac10's media darlings?

1. Montgomery
2. LoRo
3. Dawkins
4. Miller (I watched a video where he rips the defense, which moved him up on this list)
5. Robinson (Obama’s Bro-in-law, media likes that)
6. Bone (This could be bias)
7. Howland (To P.C., I can fall asleep listening to him)
8. Sendek
9. O’neill (I actually find him amusing, so I would maybe put him higher, but not the media)
10. Atlman (Yawnfest)
It was actually hard to decide this. What are your thoughts?

Marbut is a great Coug

The guy oozes confidence, and it reflects on his players. He reminds us all why WSU is so special when he says it’s different than other campuses – he would do anything for the Cougs. Sure glad to have him.
