1/10/2010 10:23:11 PM

lol WAY over

^^set em up for PAGE FIAL*






before some idiot thinks I misspelled that, it's intentional

1/10/2010 10:24:20 PM

we're at 109 right now

1/10/2010 10:27:42 PM

You know if we time it right we could get Hodge to come in as head coach. We may still suck but our press conferences would be incredible.

1/10/2010 10:28:16 PM

Julius hates NC State

there was an article about it on SFN

1/10/2010 10:33:17 PM

lol add gavin grant and it could be EPICALLY terrible

"Fine, I will wait till next year. We will have two awesome guards and maybe we will go .500, but most likely we will suck and some ppl on here will say it is because they are just freshmen and they need time. Then the next year it will be because one of them got hurt. Then the next year it will be because one of them left to the NBA."

BOLD PREDICTION

BTW thanks for letting us know you are going to the bar. I will meet you there if I want to have a discussion with someone who has very little knowledge about NC State or college basketball in general.

Last interview I heard him give they asked him what he wanted to do in the future and he said coach and when they asked him where he said NCSU. It was on his website...

1/10/2010 11:12:13 PM

if he were our coach, what would we call our student section?

"I agree with Tal. I was an Atsur fan. I was a Herb fan. The games were boring to watch, but at least they were close. I don't see myself being satisfied to wait for a 5 star point guard to finally come to our school. I see more John Wall disappointments. If by some miracle we do get one to come here, it will only be because UNC and Duke are already stacked 3 deep at SG and PG, and we will get a one-and-done Hickson type. Coaching is more than recruiting. Talented coaches can win with less than talented athletes. Talented athletes follow talented coaches. I don't see Lowe getting the ball rolling."

You know we have a 5 star point guard coming next year right?

1/10/2010 11:48:49 PM

is anybody else with me when I say that CJ Williams really needs to transfer?

Who recruits these players? I mean this isn't the NBA. You're putting it all on the players.

"yes, Leonard Hamilton started out his first 3 seasons in the ACC at the bottom 3, then magically was a good coach once he got a good guard in Toney Douglas"

What? Haha if you think Leonard Hamilton is a good coach no wonder you like Lowe.

Quote :

"^herb had the #3 draft pick last year and only made it to the 2nd weekend of the ncaa"

What in the flying fuck does this have to do with Lowe's credibility?

1/11/2010 12:54:45 AM

I just really hope Lowe doesn't wear the red blazer this year when UNC beats the shit out of us again.

1/11/2010 9:42:23 AM

why?

1/11/2010 9:42:55 AM

Because it's embarrassing when we get our asses kicked and everyone that isn't an NC State fan makes fun of it.

1/11/2010 9:44:31 AM

Yeah, why do people keep posting about Hamilton [and even Purnell] on this site and Packpride when they are talking about Lowe or Herb like they are awesome.

These guys aren't even good coaches. Hamilton is a career .520 coach. He is 58 games below .500 in conference (including his Big East days) and is 3-4 in the NCAA Tourney. He hasn't been a good coach since he had Tim James at the U.

Purnell has NEVER won a NCAA Tourney game in his life. Not once. Ever.

i think Lowe needs a few more years, but anyone that watches us play can see that this is a poorly coached team. it doesn't even seem like they run plays on offense. pass the ball around the perimeter until you can dump it to Smith, that's it.

1/11/2010 11:58:25 AM

i think thats the outside players being complacent with letting tracy do all the damn work


when we went up by 10 against UVA, people were moving, setting screens, passing etc etc etc

and then all the sudden....nothing

Its like they get lulled to sleep by tracy.

1/11/2010 12:01:36 PM

^ just about to post the same thing

when UVa started chipping away at the lead, I noticed a drastic lack in movement. way too much standing around, no screens, no communication....no desire.

1/11/2010 12:24:52 PM

it doesn't help things when Javi is setting up Tracy perfectly with ally-hoop floaters in the lane and Tracy is bricking them from point blank range.

1/11/2010 12:47:14 PM

^, ^^ sounds like coaching issue to me

1/11/2010 1:00:53 PM

i've been a Lowe supporter of as long as he has been here but i swear...those substitution patterns just baffle the fuck out of me

it seems that just yesterday we were leading the nation in free throws

1/11/2010 1:02:38 PM

you're right tracy fucking those up is entirely on lowe


that is a very difficult motion for a basketball player to make, something that only can be taught by a college coach. tracy has never made those kinds of moves before and clearly can't be expected to do so



Ohboyeee, I agree that Sid isn't doing a good job with what he has, but you are having a fucking field day being one of the biggest douchebags in the universe. You make Ronny look like a motivational speaker.

1/11/2010 1:04:11 PM

The only part that I struggle with in your defense of Tracy is that fact that he is 6' FUCKING 8"!! You should not be missing ally-hoop layups at that height.

Looking back on it now, I replay it in my head, and that is CJ Leslie's game, all day long. Flying all over the place blocking the shit out of people and taking ally-hoop dunks.

Dude, this is the credibility thread. This is where I'm allowed to share my opinion that I don't think coach Lowe is doing so hot. I've done a good job keeping it in this thread and being somewhat civil (with exception to posters like adder who just get on here to call me idiot, stupid, troll, etc, and troll me in general).

Also if you look back through this thread the majority of my posts are discussing specific coaching decisions, not just saying "Fire Lowe" or "Lowe sucks dick" (or "still credible" like some users on the other side of the argument).

A few users just fly off the handle and post feedback forum threads because I don't give Lowe ANY benefit of the doubt. That's my opinion and I'm entitled to it.

1/11/2010 1:15:26 PM

you aren't sharing your opinion


you're being a complete fucker

and it pisses people off, who admittedly act like fuckers in return, and then you respond, and we degenerate into hyperbolic yelling that doesn't even come close to approximating what any of us actually think, probably including you

i know you're frustrated that we are complete shit, but for some reason you haven't understood that none of us are happy. would we like a better coach? hell fucking yes. is sid doing a good job? no, we are sucking shit. can we get anyone better? doubtful.

the bottom line is that we are all going to have to wait another year at least to see how Lowe's class next year does. you may not agree with that, but that's the facts. and continuous bitching and baiting other people and just being a petulant douchebag isn't going to help. similarly, we are making it worse by being petulant douchebags towards you.

i know you can be civil, so lets just try that. nothing is going to change about ncsu basketball no matter what. we lost to the most pathetic team in the conference outside of ourselves and nothing is going to change.

maybe we'll still be shit with these players next year. then lowe will be gone. maybe we'll get a coach worth a shit, but i doubt it.


i'm done engaging in any faggotry in this thread, its all the same shit. but you have to admit you are going above and beyond the call of duty to piss us "lowe-supporters" off. you don't seem to understand we aren't supporting lowe, we're supporting ncsu basketball, and i know you don't believe it, but our best option for success is hoping that lowe can recruit like hell cause otherwise we're going to continue to be shit.

1/11/2010 1:26:13 PM

^ uhhh, right we've been discussing Sidney Lowe's credibility in this thread. That's its purpose. And not all Lowe supporters share your same exact sentiment that he not doing a good job. Some think he's doing a good job with the players we have on the roster, which is where the healthy debate comes in.

This IS the thread to discuss Lowe's credibility. If we aren'ts going to be allowed to discuss it then I'd suggest this thread be locked. But it hasn't been. It's 154 pages long.

right, your criticism has just been constructive and you have never crossed the line.

from your reactions when people call you out for trolling, you might think this. maybe you just don't understand.

i guess i'm doing the same shit ohboyeee is, just in the other end of the spectrum. whatever ohboyeee, if you think you're not being a dick that's awesome

fuck ncsu sports, i suppose i have better things to do then argue semantics over a shitty sports team on the interwebs.

and good post genghis. what some people fail to understand is that when you respond to shit-talkers with shit-talking, it doesn't necasarily mean you think sid is a great coach.
