Sportswriters who have columns are critics. They have in most cases a working knowledge of the sport or coach that they criticize and are in general not afraid to criticize. Coach Leach has a working knowledge of journalism so I believe it is his right to criticize the writers. Why should he be censured? There was no profanity or violence in his reply. Sorry that it bothers you guys but on the Billy Martin or Bobby Knight scale this is low level stuff.

Well, I think what Leach said goes beyond the realm of mere criticism.
But, once again, I think it doesn't bother the sportswriters that much. Perhaps they even bait him because they know he will say things like that when they do.
It gives them more to write about.
