Alabama with a Master Class on how not to handle crisis management

[ToddFlanders]

A fourth Alabama player has now been identified as being in Miller's car at the time of the shooting. I don't think this fourth player is in any way liable here (though he was in the car that transported the gun to the scene). But why doesn't the school just come out with it all at once and move the story along? They are inept at best. With this new revelation they essentially:

1) keep the story fresh, and it comes out on the eve of the Tourney. Now there are so many other questions that people will want answered that have nothing to do with basketball. There were still questions by reporters that won't let things go, but now there are questions that all the reporters will want to know.
2) make you wonder what else the school is hiding. Are they just trying to get through the Tourney (and possibly win it all) before they come out with the whole story?

These guys should have just come out with everything all at once. Taken their hit in the media all at once, and then tried to move on - leaving the constant news cycle to distract from everything as time passes. Instead they trickle out facts every couple of weeks and it's a new story with new scrutiny every time.

Maybe if they throw it all out at once.....they won't have a team left to play....I don't know....we obviously aren't getting all the facts.

You can bet if this happen here all players would have been dismissed from the team and the NCAA would have banned us from the Tournament.
