I think we have some tremendous momentum when you think about the things that we’ve been able to do right academically - when you think about our graduation success rate, when you think about our GPA for our respective teams. Where do you think La Salle stands right now as an organization?

Rather, Phil is trying to suggest that while still hiding behind the “off the record” assertion made in his original apology, which also fails to track. He certainly didn’t make up the quotes, which is what Phil would have you believe with his wording. Shipnuck is a veteran reporter who has treated Phil with respect and even-handedness, to the point that some have suggested he’s being too soft on LIV in general. ![]() That line about not doing an interview is a pretty clear attempt to thread a needle where he can maintain plausible deniability to his current overlords while also not outright lying to the world, but let’s be clear: he’s pretty much lying.
