By using the term exclusionary, he basically planted that seed. He's definitely getting some media coaching from people who understand messaging. His description of Hill's talents were equally pointed, directly addressing some of the stereotypes being thrown out that simply don't apply.

There were a lot of carefully thrown daggers in that interview and while his demeanor was relaxed giving off the appearance of humility, there is a chip on his shoulder and for whatever reason he feels he has the podium now to go on attack. But you can't come off as whiny. He's doing a good job of landing punches without really picking a fight. If BYU does continue to run the table, he's landing body blows now for the fight to come. Won't likely make a difference for the playoff...it is exclusionary...but for the NY6, he's firing shots across the bow.
