Sherrill advocates open door policy by Beverly Hamilton Battalion Staff It’s best to have an open-door policy with the media, Texas A&M’s athletic director and head coach said Tuesday. “The players themselves have to have an ability to answer to the media,” Coach Jackie Sher rill told an audience attending his discussion of press relations sponsored by the Texas A&M chapter of the Society of Profes sional Journalists. “The more they (the players) are exposed, the more they have an opportunity to speak in front of different groups,” he said. “If he (an athlete) has not had that opportunity to be in front of people and express himself, then he does not do a very good job of relating what kind of per son he is.” He said he warns the players that what they say could appear in “bulletin board” talk. “They are responsible for ev erything they say,” he said. Quotes from one team or player about their opponents often are posted on the oppo nent’s locker room bulletin be fore a game, he said. This can help “fire up” the opponents, he said. “It should teach them to think before they speak,” he said. Sherrill said he thinks it is wrong for some coaches to only let particular players speak to the press. “If you only allow certain players to speak, you’ve seques tered them to say only the good things about you,” Sherrill said. But Sherrill said his open- door policy with the media does not extend to what he says to his team or pre-game practice in formation. “What goes on on the practice field is not reportable,” he said. “We do a lot of things that is private information. “That’s something a lot of the press doesn’t understand.” Although he deals with an av erage of about five to 10 repor ters a day, Sherrill said he doesn’t get tired of the talking to the media. “But when a writer calls or the media calls and says, ‘I’m on my way over to your house,’ I think that’s going a little bit too far.” He said he is most impressed by a journalist who comes to an interview prepared. , United I’d There will lix new ones I.S.
