Coach Crean was asked specifically about both Hollowell and Jurkin in his post-game presser. For a guy who seems to enjoy talking as much as Coach does, he was pointedly terse in his responses.
In his opening remarks, he mentioned that Tim Garl and other members of the staff were battling sickness, but when asked if that was why Hollowell didn't play, he only remarked quickly "Yeah...we played the guys that were there to play for us, that could help us."
When asked about Jurkin, he said "I went with the guys who have played".
Regarding Creek, all he would share about the injury was that it happened in practice.
You have to wonder if there is not more to the story, when Coach responds to questions this obliquely. First semester grades are in--could that be part of it?
