Sure...yesterday they were trying to put it to bed by saying what they did and that because the Avs matched, there was no point in discussing it further.

But this became a national firestorm with every media outlet including their own local love in station trying to figure out what would have happened. In that case it should have become AUTOMATIC for Feaster to get in front of the whole thing if he had a well reasoned and factual explanation. The optics on this are so friggin horrible for a team that simply doesnt need such nonsense, that for a guy like him and his mantra of doing things the right way to dodge every media outlet for 2 days afterwards, reeks of "whoops" to me.
Yeah, this is the first time that Feaster's media management has not been very good. I'm not sure why he hasn't made more comments other than maybe they've made the judgment that it's better to wait for this to blow over.

I highly doubt he's on the cusp of being fired--it's likelier to me that he's been advised to keep his mouth shut until there's a questionable hit or a trade and everyone forgets about this.
