"Pursed" lips as in a container for money. Meaning we need to pony up to beat Arizona. A simple nod is significant because "nod" which spelled backwards is "Don." Don from the latin word dominus, is used in most mafioso movies to distinguish the highest position in the mafia hierarchy. A nod is a downward motion. Obviously Miller is smirking about the (down)fall of our "don" Lee Fowler.3/25/2011 3:02:27 AM |

ok, two things:
1. He bailed on Xavier following an E8 and a S16. Obviously Arizona is not Xavier, but this was a pipe dream from the start and it's still not over depending on how sweet that offer we put out is
2. Derrick Williams is gone now. I mean, he probably was anyway but I had heard he was having a tough time making a decision even though he was getting such good feedback.

I don't think it comes down to money on this one. I think Zona will match anything we put up unless its something ridiculous. Miller will come here because he wants to, not because of money.
That being said...if Miller says no, throw everything at Grant. I don't know why he's not getting talked about as much...at least as much as Smart.3/25/2011 9:40:17 AM |

I hate saying this but LETS PULL A CAROLINA
Carolina went from Matt Doherty to who got them a great recruiting class and had a terrible record with them and was a former UNC player who actually played against Sidney Lowe TO ROY FRIGGIN WILLIAMS... Who won UNC the national championship with Doherty's recruiting class.... What they did is EXACTLY what could happen if we got Sean Miller (i know that's doubtful and expecting way too much)
Former player from the early 80s now coaching and recently let go Check Great recruiting class with terrible record Check Lots of money and lots of possibility due to our new AD & Chancellor Check...
Coach capable of beating Duke possibly looking... Check....
How Carolina bought... i mean built their program is exactly what we could do...
Is it the best thing for the program? will it even happen??? who knows... probably not... but its a dream isn't it?

I'd be a lot more optimistic about Miller if he played here instead of just coached here. Being an assistant here for a few years doesn't seem like it would build deep roots of loyalty and passion for the school. 3/25/2011 9:47:41 AM |

I also know a big donor who confirmed Yow called and spoke with Miller yesterday morning. I didn't hear anything about the $$ so I don't know if that is true. If we did offer $3.2 M it would be enough for him to at least seriously consider.
On a side note, I hate duke even more now...the one f*cking game I wanted and was pulling for them to won. 3/25/2011 9:54:58 AM |

That would quite possibly be the worst thing ever. You don't call and talk to a coach about leaving the school he is at the day of his monumental sweet 16 game against #1 Duke.
The only thing that makes me feel ok about your comment is that you or whoever you talked to has no fucking clue what they're talking about. 3/25/2011 10:00:25 AM |

$3.2M.
if you believe we offered that, you are an absolute moron. that would make him the 3rd highest paid coach in NCAA basketball...more than Bill Self & Coach K.
i have 0 evidence to suggest that NC State would offer such a ridiculous sum of money, therefore I will not accept it as fact.
(but by all means...offer whatever it takes. no settling)
