I think that officials would be able to help eliminate some of the misconceptions about officiating, rules, and definitely controversial plays or rulings. If Phil Luckett had had an opportunity to expain what actually happened in the Detroit/Pittsburgh coin flip, it would have helped clear the air and proved that his call was correct. Yet, the powers that be have always stayed away from this type thing.
I'm not sure what Deford means by "full press coverage." I don't see a need for a news conference after every game. But it wouldn't hurt for a pool reporter to be picked to ask questions or a statement to be released explaining a given situation.
