Cox pleaded: "We're going to do an interview really quick. One quick interview, coach."
After sticking to his side, ESPN's Heather Cox finally got Shaw finally squeezed in the question: "First Rose Bowl since 1972, what does that say about where this program is?"
Shaw responded: "To be honest, we're still on the ascend. We can still play so much better and that's our charge now, to take this victory, celebrate it, but get ready to buck up and play better next year."
The ESPN sports reporter tried to ask another question but Shaw was whisked away and waved good-bye. "Are we finished here?" asked Cox. "Guys, I'm told the coach needs to go to the trophy presentation."
When Cox thought she was off the air, she asked in disbelief off-camera, "Are you kidding me?"
Shaw eventually gave ESPN and Heather Cox an interview after the trophy ceremony.
