It's easy to say all that now with the benefit of hindsight knowing that Washington athletic dept officials had ulterior motives in mind when they bargained in bad faith and then leaked a very one sided and dishonest portrayal of the situation to the media.

That's just not his style. Even now with his response he's been classy, honest and has refrained from throwing Udub under the bus.
