No, Holt Jr. was absolutely innocent of this complete mockery. This was of course ESPN's doing. The clown in the cowboy hat and jorts was ESPN reporter Marty Smith, who mainly covers NASCAR and SEC football & baseball. This was the first of two s that ESPN did on the Spurs and San Antonio in general.
They definitely view SA as a podunk hick town and found it convenient to send their resident redneck reporter to SA and have him make a total jackass of himself while belittling our fanbase. It would have been great if he kept that haircut as some sort of penance but oh well.
Oh yes the second that ESPN produced was courtesy of one Stephen A Smith who was interviewing Wemby with his parents. After a few Spur related questions, he just could not resist and asked Wemby about his thoughts on New York and subtly presented NYC as an option to Wemby after VW finishes his rookie contract.
