I don't know how much of an insider you are, I'm neutral on all of this, but Solinsky certainly came across less classy with his comments. Why would Rupp do this just to mess with him? There's a huge field that neither can beat so it seems like a paranoid, self-centered thing to say. Yes Chris it must be about you, not Rup checking his allergies/breathing while warming up and deciding not to run.

I've heard several stories from people who have met each of these guys. Solinsky comes off as a class act pretty much across the board. People talk about him with excitement and admiration. I am a little surprised that he has let Rupp affect him in any way.
Rupp on the other hand I never hear anything overwhelmingly positive. Never heard anything bad necessarily either, but people seem to be lukewarm toward him.
Not that any of this matters-- Michael Jordan is a first-class dickhead after all.
