The answer should have been because I am stupid.

Tipton kept pressing him why. Blackshear really said it was his relationship with the other players already there.
 
Tipton seems much more subdued now. But my complaint in regard to Tipton has always been that he approaches sports, UK basketball in particular, like it's his job to take the fun out of it.

Sports are entertainment, not important life impacting stuff. Why shouldn't we (the populace of KY) get to enjoy something trivial like sports? Why is there a need to play Debbie Downer all the time and try to uncover every negative element about something that brings a little joy to people and provides some temporary distraction from real world problems? I never got that. If Tipton desired to be a crack investigative reporter, why didn't he go into news reporting where that cynicism might further some useful purpose?
