I'm officially on the Fire Mark Gottfried train. Fire his ass now and get somebody who knows how to coach and at least get a team to show up to a game

At least Herb teams waited until the 2nd half to stop scoring points

2/1/2014 1:30:24 PM

2/1/2014 1:36:47 PM

I miss Herb's patented 9-minute scoring droughts

2/1/2014 1:37:18 PM

Yow was in Richmond today watching VCU/Richmond.

2/1/2014 1:44:14 PM

we have to work so hard for 30 seconds just to get a bad shot off then the other team comes down and gets an open shot after a few pass.

feel so hopeless against teams that aren't anemic on offense.

2/1/2014 1:45:34 PM

^^^ field goal droughts. we always managed a few FTs during those stretches

[Edited on February 1, 2014 at 1:45 PM. Reason : ^]

2/1/2014 1:45:35 PM

whew. thank god they were only 2 or 3 points in 9 minutes. That's much better than zero!

2/1/2014 1:48:48 PM

did the bus show up?

2/1/2014 1:52:52 PM

Sidney Lowe sees nothing wrong with this performance

2/1/2014 1:53:24 PM

i'd rather score 10 points like herb did versus st. johns!1

2/1/2014 1:54:18 PM

I'm just curious: do you think this is good coaching?

2/1/2014 1:55:03 PM

i think it's terrible coaching, playing, breathing, walking, everything

question: do you think you're bringing anything insightful to the table when we play like shit and you point out that we play like shit?

I'm not a Mark supporter by any means but the team has always showed up and is pretty consistent this year. This is the same basketball that won 3 games in a row over shitty offensive teams.

We are doing ok. Our defense will always be too poor to beat good teams like UNC but the FSU win was impressive. If we can continue on this trajectory, a top 7 acc finish would be an ok season.

2/1/2014 1:57:51 PM

Fire everyone. Because nc state.

2/1/2014 1:59:36 PM

Always showed up? We've got 11 halves of ball this year where we didn't break 29 points. How is that "showing up"?

2/1/2014 2:00:05 PM

Gottfried is just fine. Today's effort up to this point is completely unacceptable though.

geez shuttup, we want to win in chapel hill once every 15 years! hell, at least SHOW UP once every 15 years. fuck this top 7 talk right now.

2/1/2014 2:01:10 PM

11 halfves? sounds pretty consistent to me. especially if you play 5 good defensive teams.


^why should anyone expect gott to beat a hall of fame coach on the road?

[Edited on February 1, 2014 at 2:02 PM. Reason : give up]

2/1/2014 2:01:17 PM

consistently shitty, yeah

I don;t expect him always to beat a HOF coach on the road. I do expect his teams to, you know, show up to the game. It'd be nice

[Edited on February 1, 2014 at 2:04 PM. Reason : ]

2/1/2014 2:03:18 PM

i wish we could see and hear what is going on in the locker room during halftime

2/1/2014 2:06:38 PM

We're just getting beat by a much better team. How fucking tough is it to digest that dammit?

2/1/2014 2:08:07 PM

Gott is probably in there playing Candy Crush on his iPhone

^ the problem is that this is their worst team in decades, and it's still leaps and bounds better than ours. But yeah, I guess that has nothing to do with the coach

[Edited on February 1, 2014 at 2:09 PM. Reason : ]

2/1/2014 2:08:21 PM

we showed up. this is exactly how we've been playing. 23 is not an incredibly low amount of points. if we had decent defense it would be like 30-23.

[Edited on February 1, 2014 at 2:10 PM. Reason : their team is vulnerable against well-coached defensive teams. thats not who we are. ]

2/1/2014 2:09:30 PM

Yeah... A 46-pt game is really something to which to aspire! Man, that's awesome!

2/1/2014 2:11:25 PM

Does Vandy even count as a defensive player?

2/1/2014 2:12:16 PM

My point exactly. This UNC team is shitty. And we're even worse

pretty sure Doherty's teams didn't beat Louisville, Michigan State and Kentucky

2/1/2014 2:14:08 PM

WHatever helps you sleep at night

2/1/2014 2:19:12 PM

Not really defending Gott, but you can't really judge him based on the team's performance in this game. Every NC State team I've ever watched played like shit against UNC, especially in that building.

2/1/2014 2:19:16 PM

burro falls fast asleep reveling in sports misery

2/1/2014 2:20:18 PM

^^true. people around here act strictly off emotion. i'm consistent and complain consistently but my minimum expectation for this season is a top 7 finish which we are right on track for so i can forget this game. how many did you really expect us to win in a row.

we won't beat good teams but can beat all the bad teams and still be decent.

2/1/2014 2:22:35 PM

you don't get it... we've all watched this team all year and I KNOW we aren't THIS pathetic.

it's beyond understandable to bash them and NOT forget this game, the 2nd biggest game of the year (besides the home game)

2/1/2014 2:24:44 PM

The coach has nothing to do with how a team plays. He certainly has nothing to do with getting a team fired up for the game. He's just there to shake hands with the other coach at the end of the game

2/1/2014 2:28:51 PM

Gottfried must only be coaching Lee this half...

^if you're an NC State basketball player and you need a coach to get you "fired up" to play UNC...you're a huge pussy

[Edited on February 1, 2014 at 2:31 PM. Reason : .]

2/1/2014 2:31:19 PM

Yeah, so when the coach does nothing about it, that's ok, then! Cause, you know, the coach doesn't do anything.

[Edited on February 1, 2014 at 2:33 PM. Reason : ]

2/1/2014 2:33:15 PM

i wish i could watch practices and locker room talk like burro. Gottfried does nothing but play Candy Crush all the time

2/1/2014 2:35:10 PM

I wish I could bury my head in the sand like Twista

2/1/2014 2:36:15 PM

lol

i dont claim to know what the coach does or doesnt do like you

the thing is, i can agree with you that the coaching effort sucked dick in the 1st half

whereas you are too stubborn to admit that he's coaching much better this half

[Edited on February 1, 2014 at 2:38 PM. Reason : .]

2/1/2014 2:37:42 PM

Yeah, let's completely ignore the turd in the punch bowl, cause the punch surrounding the turd isn't that bad!

but yeah, lots of missed shots, still bricking FTs, and no rebounding whatsoever is excellent coaching! Keep up the good work, Gott, maybe we;ll only lose by 50!

[Edited on February 1, 2014 at 2:41 PM. Reason : ]

2/1/2014 2:39:39 PM

who is ignoring it? i have already said the coaching and playing in the 1st half was abysmal

why aren't you proud of Gott for getting Lee "fired up" this half?

2/1/2014 2:41:15 PM

I'm just curious why you don't bump this thread and suck Gott's dick during our wins, since you're so short-term and hyper-reactionary

2/1/2014 2:43:19 PM

losing by 30 at home to virginia is ok
losing by 30 in cameron is ok
losing by 20 in the dean dome is suddenly "not showing up"

we can't be THIS bad.

2/1/2014 2:43:57 PM

Losing by 30 to UVA is damned near inexcusable, considering they are lucky to break 60

2/1/2014 2:45:09 PM

^^ this motherfucker is straight up delusional.

2/1/2014 2:47:04 PM

Man, Gott really showed up to coach this half!

2/1/2014 2:51:36 PM

name some good coaches you'd like to see us hire, that would come here

2/1/2014 2:53:03 PM
