Oregon's Dan Lanning gets testy with reporter while revealing that Dante Moore didn't speak postgame due to IV treatment
Moore wasn't made available for the media following the Ducks' upset loss to Oklahoma State in Week 2.
Oregon's head coach Dan Lanning became testy with a reporter during a news conference while discussing why star quarterback Dante Moore did not speak to the media following the team's upset loss to Oklahoma State. Moore had been receiving IV treatment due to dehydration and cramps during the game. Lanning explained that Moore was not deliberately avoiding media interviews but was undergoing treatment.
The coach highlighted the challenging circumstances, including playing away from home and the heat, that contributed to Moore's inability to participate in an interview. Lanning emphasized that if a player is in distress like that, the first priority for the team is to get them the necessary medical care. He also pointed out that no one had mentioned Moore's postgame absence to the media.
Lanning challenged the reporter, questioning why the information was not disclosed before publication. The reporter attempted to defend their actions, but Lanning responded by accusing them of misrepresenting the situation and sarcastically commented, "good job."
