How things are said and what isn’t left said can give us deeper insight into what they’re really thinking – as long as we don’t look too hard or put words in a coach’s mouth that aren’t actually spoken.
That was the spirit in which I watched and double-checked O’Connell’s Monday press conference with reporters. I talked about some things I think I gleaned from it on Tuesday’s Daily Delivery Podcast.
