@craig.smith.speaks: A few years ago during NCAA March Madness, Nigel Hayes was sitting at the podium during a press conference when a hot mic picked up a comment he made quietly to a teammate. Within minutes, the clip was everywhere. It was harmless, funny, and a little embarrassing, but it’s a great reminder for anyone who spends time around cameras. If the camera’s pointed your way, assume the mic is on. If there’s a mic in the room, assume it can hear you. Little moments like that are part of what makes sports fun, but it also shows how fast things can travel once you’re in front of the media. Always be aware of the moment you’re in. 🎙️ #craigsmithspeaks #nigelhayes #MarchMadness

I think that it so cute. How chivalrous to say, "Gosh, she is beautiful" in a respectful way.
I would be honored to hear that.

If that’s the kind of thing he’s “caught” saying on a hot mic, that’s the biggest green flag 🥰

The best thing is he was being honest and respectful. He wasn't being creepy, he simply made an observation. It was pure and wholesome.
