The iPhone has been a boon to journalists worldwide — so much so that universities now teach courses on how to use the Apple gadget as a reporting and storytelling tool.

But all the iPhone's journalism benefits come with a downside, as evidenced in hilarious fashion during a Monday press conference held by Northwestern University football coach Pat Fitzgerald.

One unlucky reporter had set his iPhone on the table in front of Fitzgerald to record the coach's remarks, leading into the nationally ranked Wildcats' Saturday showdown against powerhouse Ohio State. But the coach was interrupted mid-sentence by a caller named "Graham."

Fitzgerald doesn't miss a beat, however, picking up the call to tell Graham, "We're in a press conference, buddy. You're going to have to call him back, alright?" He even bids Graham goodbye with a classic coach's send-off: "Go Cats."
