"When I was coaching at Kansas, Les was the athletic director at N.C. State. He called me one day about being the new basketball coach of the Wolfpack. I told him he had to be crazy, that the N.C. State people would run him out of town for bringing a UNC guy in to coach the Wolfpack. He just grinned and said, not as long as you win, big fella, not as long as you win."

uh, that's crazy.

Better than Lee Fowler's "attempt" to hire a coach I am sure.

7/4/2008 7:37:06 PM

big fella

7/5/2008 9:09:10 AM

Eh, Lee was right, if a UNC guy came in here and actually won it would be pretty quickly forgotten that he ever went to UNC

(up until their fans started cracking jokes about it)

^ damn man, if we beat them twice a year consistently and beat them in football they could say whatever they wanted.

despite some of the stupid shit he has done recently, his attitude towards coaching and "good old boy" outlook is something most state fans can relate to.

Had Roy Williams had the success here that he did at Kansas he probably would've left for UNC anyway when he had the chance and we could have gotten a much better coach, making the UNC/NCSU rivalry an actual rivalry again.

We'd still lose. It doesn't matter who the coach is. NCSU athletics is cursed.

7/6/2008 1:16:21 AM

I agree.

7/6/2008 1:22:47 AM

Yeah, now we have some idot in a zoot suit who bought a degree from a sham college to be eligible to coach, much better than Roy Williams

7/6/2008 3:09:31 AM

all that stuff is oh so relevant to being a coach.

7/6/2008 3:31:28 AM

it means we have no standards

thus, we deserve to play second fiddle to the Coach K's and Roy Williams out there

7/6/2008 3:36:46 AM

he's still be a choke artist.

7/6/2008 4:32:26 AM

^^ feel free to go fuck yourself in the ass with a chainsaw.

7/6/2008 9:41:12 AM

Scuba Steve has some serious issues.

7/6/2008 12:01:04 PM

I don't care if you agree with me or not. One more season at the bottom of the ACC with a sub .500 record and he'll be gone. I can't believe that this guy was the best that NCSU could muster, particularly with a history of great coaches like Jimmy V.

7/6/2008 12:27:06 PM

it would not have mattered

bo schembechler came from ohio, proof is in the pudding

7/6/2008 12:55:13 PM

7/6/2008 1:09:08 PM

well done ernie

7/6/2008 2:47:50 PM

article is wrong, red & white is not our fight song

I assume by sub .500 you mean overall? Expect us to have a much better team this year. Sid can coach, last year's team just had some issues off court that were allowed on the court(what i've heard is Grant was the source, not Hickson, but i don't know how accurate that is)

7/7/2008 8:24:11 PM

I heard Gavin Grant had sex with Todd Fuller

7/7/2008 8:42:56 PM

screw this team chemistry shit. Unless Sydney is running their asses off and getting our team in shape, we're going to be just as sloppy and painful to watch as last year.

Thanks, fabalus.

So we're likely to finish above .500 in the ACC but under .500 overall?

7/7/2008 11:07:31 PM

^not sure how that implies that whatsoever.

Way to put words in my mouth buddy.

I'm not your buddy, guy

7/8/2008 3:41:03 AM
