you guys can't be serious. you are saying rt is the best source because he's responsible for hiring? rt can't and won't say anything until the coach is hired.
good reporters use anon. sources. look at ESPN, david aldrige always quotes anon sources when reporting stories about new nba coaches. same with guys like len pasquarelli when reporting in the nfl. its because when you go to the guy responsible for the hiring, he ISNT GOING TO SAY ANYTHING before it actually happens. that's why they have sources inside, who are willing to say it. all the good reporters find credible sources and use them. look at all breaking news stories, and i bet most of them use credible anon. scources.
the herald obviously must have more sources built up than pcm. i know pcm doesnt believe in using anon sources, but he must not believe in breaking stories either. that's why he didnt break a story in this case, and the herald did.
we'll see in the coming weeks, who is right. in the meantime, anyone care to put money down on it with me? if you dont want to pcm, go write your oscar nomination instead.
