The best way to deal with this issue is to hold a news conference late that Monday afternoon. The new conference would be the best way to get the information out to the media in and it will give the media an opportunity to ask questions and get quotes for a story (Pedersen, et al, 2007, p. 272).

The coach should also let the media know what the punishment will be for the player and what policies will be put in place to keep something like this from happening again (Fiske,
