Nearly 24 hours later, CBS Sports Chairman Sean McManus said he had no regrets about how his team covered Kevin Ware’s horrific injury Sunday.

During a conference call this afternoon, McManus said, “We’re proud of the decisions we made.”

“In retrospect, it really was an easy call to make because of the gruesome nature of the injury,” McManus said. “It was the right call. (Jim Nantz and Clark Kellogg) didn’t say much. They let the pictures tell the story….We handled it as well as you could in a difficult situation.”

CBS initially aired two replays of Ware suffering the injury.

“It almost took the second replay for it to sink in what you were seeing,” McManus said.

The decision then was made: No more replays Sunday. The edict will carry over to CBS’ coverage of the Final Four in Atlanta.

McManus knows some people are questioning the decision. However, he said people can see video of the incident on various sites, if they so choose.

“I didn’t think we had the obligation to be the facilitator,” he said.

McManus said CBS never considered going to a commercial while Ware still was lying on the floor. He also was proud that the network allowed Tracy Wolfson to do a long postgame interview with Rick Pitino despite the late finish cutting into primetime.

For his part, Nantz said he still was dealing Monday with the aftermath of witnessing the injury and the subsequent reaction from the Louisville players.

“I had never seen anything like that before,” Nantz said. “It’s hard to get the image out of your mind. I keep replaying it.”
