I think DanteEXT is right on.
The media were determined to make this a story today. Wade said the media didn't know the story and he wasn't telling them because it was an in-house matter. He then said it wasn't a big deal, that this happens more often than people realize, and that the sidelines belong to the team and what happens there is their business (paraphrasing).
Why is that not a satisfactory answer, especially after both parties -- Campo and Newman -- have said it's nothing?
So Wade didn't defuse the media to some people's satisfaction... So what. It doesn't give MacMahon the right to make completely bogus claims like "Newman has no respect for this coaching staff." That's exactly the kind of thing that wouldn't have been allowed in the print media days, but now bloggers can basically say anything they like with zero repercussions.
