Alot of change (schemes) coming and they don't want to tip their hand too early to the ACC?
Golden has usually been good with the media being around. Maybe this is just him starting to lash back?
Why open yourself up to unnecessary scrutiny. He has nothing to gain by allowing media at his practice. They guy is a lame duck, this is his last chance to audition for another gig.
Stop the bleeding (negative press) until fall camp. At that point, some of the noise should calm down, and then he can do whatever he wants as the season goes, because he knows this is his last year.
He has nothing to gain by opening up practices. The Fan base, media, everyone that doesn't have a last name that is Golden and/or D'Nofrio, hate him.
