I'd like to believe that this is in fact the explanation, and this was my initial thought, but the scenario is simply altogether too weird. Ordinarily, I would think that a coordinator or other member of a team or coaching staff proclaiming that he is no longer talking to the media would be a reaction grounded in a brief fit of frustration, with the possibility wide open for a change of heart. But the fact that the team has gone so far as to communicate with league officials to get permission to excuse Blache seems to imply something more complex than a mere grump reaction.
