Which game are you interested in?

And to answer your question, there are not post game pressers during basketball other than during the rivalry or the Big Sky Tournament or the NCAA Tournament. All other interviews are either conducted one on one or for post game, just on the court. Most of the time, TV stations have already left because of deadline and the 9 and 10 o'clock news. So the only post game press conference I've been at this year is in Bozeman this last Saturday...

Colter is correct. After the game, radio (becasue they can go longer) has an interview with Head Coach. Parker Cotton requests the players he would like to talk to, and they talk to him, but there is no official "presser" after games (other than Cat/griz). I know ESPN+ is working on interviews, but radio gets 1st dibs, and ESPN+ broadcast doesn't go long enough to do both. Many people have commented "how come the (insert school name ) ESPN+ broadcast shows a coach interview after the game... Answer is, they use the radio feed for the broadcast, not a separate person like MSU does (good for me).

This answers my question. Any of the women's games. But makes sense if its only rivalry.

The youtube behind the mic page usually includes the coaches interview right at the end:

Do they not do a Monday presser like Vigen does for football. Probably hard early season due to travel bit once conference starts seems like another good way to get eyes and ears on the program.

They don't anymore. Guessing there just isn't the demand for it from the media outlets like there is for football. I think we still get a decent amount of content from the coaches each week with Cat Chat every Tuesday night and the weekly Bobcat Insider show that MTN Sports puts out on Wednesdays.
