Yup, Sports reporting is low stakes, but I have always liked that the tradition in the states is that it’s held to a similar sort of journalistic standard, if rather squishier. Just don’t cross that line, and say all the dumb shit you would have expected the coach to say as the impression you got, or the gist of what you overheard. In the college game at least, there are a few coaches who would be livid if a reporter put cliches into their mouths.
