He's from Oklahoma University, and for the record, Tipton has been covering UK sports forever, but we all know how he is...so just because a guy "covers" UK stuff doesn't mean his articles are going to always be presented with a pro-UK slant. I think this article is a bit questionable from its approach in that he's purposely laid out Hump's quotes so as to leave it up to the reader to decipher what it might mean. But he's also added a few of his own "structures" to the article so as to attempt to lead the reader down the path of "uh oh, does this mean he's thinking about transferring!" or "uh oh, turmoil going into the tournament!".
If he were truly pro-UK, he'd have structured the article much differently, or hell, not even asked the questions or written an article at all. Instead, he chose some odd context and odd timing to both ask the question, and publish the article around quoted answers to questions that were most likely leading in nature.
