Baylor's Art Briles became the latest coach to be targeted by a prank caller when he participated in this week's Big 12 teleconference with reporters.
A man posing as a reporter from "Big 12 Conference.com" asked Briles if he knew of "any members your team or anything like that that have Big 12s that they smack each other in the shower or have sword fights?"
Briles chuckled, then responded, "I hope not. I mean I don't even know what you're talking about."

Pete Carroll was targeted last week when a prankster asked the USC coach if he rewarded his players by setting up dates with various Hollywood starlets. The caller followed by asking Carroll about a brand-name product that shares its name with the Trojans. Carroll then became upset and said, "Good job, Ohio State," before hanging up.
UCLA's Rick Neuheisel was next on the prank list when he was asked this question: "You never hear about the UCLA players playing dirty. Is it true that you actually scrub and wash your players in the shower before the game?"
Still seeking audio of the calls to Carroll or Neuheisel. If you have a copy, please send it our way. We'll keep your identity a secret.
