So I just finished watching the press conference. I have to admit, I was not paying that much attention during the Lowe Era.

The biggest impression I got from the answers Coach Gottfried gave was how the program seemed to be in "coast" mode. That is, there was no intentional pride, discipline, or tradition garnered during the Lowe Era. It sounded like Gottfried saw the players with no desire to win.

Was that true? Was Lowe one of those coaches who didn't realize the history and weight of his position (even though he was an '83'er)? Was he of the mindset that, "I'm here, let's party!" Like he reached the pinnacle of this career and didn't know what to do with it. Wanted to be more of a buddy than a leader?

(Honestly, and I apologize for bringing politics into this, but this press conference sounds like the press conference of whoever is going to be President after Obama.)

My point, dweedle. Lowe was hired because we needed a coach. We knew he wasn't a coach, and je wasn't expected to coach well, so he had no standards set for himself by the AD or anyone.

You know, a lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what-have-yous.

But it seems that LF wasn't a good ACC AD. SL didn't grow into a good ACC HC. So far, (before any games have been played) MG seems like he might be an improvement.

Quote :
"Gottfried putting his touches on NC State program
By AARON BEARD, AP Basketball Writer

RALEIGH, N.C. — Mark Gottfried wants his North Carolina State players to believe they can win after five straight years of struggle. He's unafraid of going head-to-head against the national powers from just down the road for recruits. And the coach isn't shy about changing the mentality and habits within a program that hasn't been to the NCAA tournament in five years.

Hired in April to replace Sidney Lowe, Gottfried's efforts to reverse the program's sagging fortunes have touched on the conditioning of players, the scheduling philosophy, even the way he wants the players to carry themselves in class and on campus.

"I'm talking about a mindset that they begin to understand day in and day out what it takes to be successful," Gottfried said Tuesday during a news conference. "You've got to learn how to be on time. You've got to learn how to have a great attitude in class. I tell them: 'Look nice, dress nice, speak nice, be nice — be a professional.'

"We're getting there. Not that these guys are bad guys. They're not. But what's going to happen is you're going to get in a game for the first time and it's those periods where the rubber meets the road — and how are we going to respond? We don't know yet. And these guys haven't been there, to be quite frank, where they can turn that into a win and turn that into success."

Few of the Wolfpack's frustrated fans are going to question Gottfried's moves right now. As he said, "The bottom line in winning fans over is winning games," and N.C. State hasn't done much of that in the Atlantic Coast Conference lately.

Lowe, the point guard on the "Cardiac Pack" team that won the 1983 NCAA championship, was a beloved figure at the school who could never build any sustained on-court success. He went 25-55 in ACC regular-season play, never finished higher than ninth in the league and went a combined 3-16 against nearby rivals Duke and North Carolina before resigning after five seasons.

Gottfried and his staff managed to avoid mass defections after taking over — freshman point guard Ryan Harrow transferred to Kentucky — and has spent the three months since trying to forge relationships with those players even though they were limited to only a handful of workouts due to NCAA rules.

In the case of rising junior Richard Howell, Gottfried pushed the 6-foot-8 forward to get in better shape. He said Howell weighed 271 pounds in the spring, but is now down to around 250 and carrying himself with more confidence.

"Everybody was a little bit different," said Gottfried, who had worked as a college basketball analyst for ESPN since leaving Alabama in 2009. "Guys want to know what their role is. Some of that is hard because I've watched them on television, but until you coach somebody, you don't really know their game sometimes. ... Guys want to know how they're going to fit in. They want to believe we can win, so that was our job with these guys."

With the learning process ongoing, Gottfried said it's hard to predict exactly how his first team will stack up with the rest of the ACC. While he talked about his players embracing the early changes and the program having some early momentum, he also cautioned Wolfpack fans not to expect too much, too fast.

"I've got no magic dust that we can just sprinkle over our guys," he said. "There are habits that have to be built. We're trying to get those built right now, and I think we're making steps.""

DAYUM he was 270! Holy shit. 270?!

Why didn't people start comparing him to Big Baby, were they afraid that his draft stock would get too high?

I think it was about being neighbors with Caulton Tudor, the N&O staff writer. I guess he lives in the Broughton district too.

Is Gottfried subtly calling out Seth Greenberg on the RPI of OOC opponents with his comments?

^That was my thought...but I don't think he's just calling out VT though. We always had a pretty weak schedule under Lowe. Clemson too. Off the top of my head, I'm not sure of other teams with weaker OOC schedules.

old news, but i was unaware of some of this

Quote :
"Gottfried attended Oral Roberts on a basketball scholarship. After playing there for one season, where he was a Freshman All-American, he transferred to Alabama. There, he started 98 consecutive games, and Alabama advanced to the Sweet Sixteen in all three seasons he played. He holds the school records for most 3-point shots made in a single game with eight in a 1987 game against Vanderbilt, and for career 3-point field goal percentage (.485, 81–167).[1] Gottfried graduated with a Bachelor of Arts & Sciences in Communications from the University of Alabama in 1987, after winning both the school's Hayden Riley Top Scholar Award and the Bryant Award as the school's top scholar-athlete during his senior year.[4] He was selected by the Detroit Pistons in the seventh round of the 1987 NBA Draft,[5] though he never played professionally. Instead, he spent three years touring with Athletes in Action, then attended UCLA graduate school for two years.[1]"

playing a weak schedule is a lose lose. I don't understand why everyteam doesn't try to play a tough schedule. Even if you lose, people will respect you and say "they are good but have all of those losses because their schedule is impossible" You have a better chance making it with a losing tough schedule than an undefeated cupcake schedule.

Think about our games last year. A lot of people thought we were decent when we lost to gtown and syracuse.
