Mike Anderson Defends His Players, Slams Dick Vitale on Finebaum

After yesterday’s chippy finish to the SEC Championship, Arkansas head coach Mike Anderson defended his players. He told the media in the opening statement of his press conference: “It was unfortunate, but at the same time, I don’t think anybody was intent on trying to hurt anybody.”

Anderson felt a little froggier on today’s edition of The Paul Finebaum Show.

Using stronger language, Anderson used a similar defense, starting with Dusty Hannahs’ back-screen that sealed Arkansas’ fate. “Obviously, he was protecting himself…..I don’t anything was of intent.”

“Protecting himself;” is that what you call this?
