I hate when message boards do stuff like that that. Verbal threats are one thing, but other than that, message boards should welcome a free exchange of ideas and thoughts.

well, we have packpride idiots that are sending thread links to players on facebook, so...

4/6/2011 10:58:37 AM

That is really douchey of whoever is sending players the links.

If harrow is leaving to find a school without assholes on message boards, then good luck b/c that school doesn't exist.

Coach Gottfried already making waves?

o shi

4/6/2011 11:34:21 AM

will that guy be able to play since he sat out most of last year?

4/6/2011 11:39:38 AM

i'm not going to get excited about a pg transfer from a school in iowa this time around.

i've been burned pretty bad before.

4/6/2011 11:40:01 AM

That piece of ass is credible for damn sure

4/6/2011 11:42:51 AM

Looks like a mutant Jamie Pressley

4/6/2011 11:44:37 AM

Not the best pic of her face-wise.

4/6/2011 11:46:53 AM

looks like the god damn troll face IRL

"America is the land of opportunity, where a little hard work can send you well on your way to a better life. In the case of Mark Gottfried, however, you can drive a basketball program into the ground and find yourself the head man in the ACC a few years later…to the tune of a cool $1 Million+ per year. In their quest to achieve the unachievable, N.C. State named Gottfried their head coach on Tuesday. The Wolfpack’s relentless pursuit of Duke, North Carolina and, well, everybody else in the ACC landed them with who some say was their fifth choice for the job."

4/6/2011 1:39:09 PM

Has anyone justified this thread's existence yet?

The Lowe one didn't appear until well into his tenure.

Do some people just already hate him b/c he's not Rick Barnes?

4/6/2011 1:39:56 PM

No. Take a look at the Debbie cred watch thread. She is +10 billion or so right now.

The credibility watch can be where you support someone's credibility, and I think Gottfried gets +1 for stealing the Iowa kid (if he does).

4/6/2011 1:57:17 PM

who cares... as alumni i feel I'm contractually obliged to be all about this guy until he lets me down for at least 3 consecutive seasons.

4/6/2011 2:05:59 PM

So at first I read it as a PG from Iona, and I was like "meh."

Then I learned to read and was like, "cool."

4/6/2011 2:20:53 PM

I'm pretty sure the Debbie Yow Credibility Thread pretty much started as soon as she was hired as well. That's just what we do.

LOL. So we get dogged for Herb. Why do Alabama and BC fans get a free pass on shitting all over their most successful coaches ever?

So this Cully Payne dude

yes thank you, that's what a lot of people on the coaching search thread couldn't comprehend (thank god that piece of shit is locked up), you dont' look at a coaches accomplishments at a mid major or totally non basketball school and then equate that with the best he can do at nc state, it looks like the rational fans have come out now

4/6/2011 3:32:46 PM

I think everyone did a WTF yesterday.

4/6/2011 3:35:46 PM

that cully dude seems to have commitment issues

4/6/2011 3:38:34 PM

not surprised about the first decommitment, but i'm not sure why he'd leave iowa. had a pretty good thing going there.

he must really like gottfried.

4/6/2011 3:50:22 PM

You're not surprised but you aren't sure why he'd leave? Those seem like conflicting points of view.

4/6/2011 3:52:01 PM

first vs second

4/6/2011 3:55:52 PM

From what I gathered, Lowe was more of a "friend" figure to the players and not as much of a disciplinarian/mentor.

They need someone to get in there and whip them into shape.

4/6/2011 4:02:06 PM

actually i guess there were 3 decommittments

1. depaul - made before high school, not surprising
2. alabama - the coach that recruited him resigned (gottfried), not surprising
3. iowa - not sure why he wanted out. unless he somehow knew gottfried was about to start coaching again

4/6/2011 4:37:42 PM

werent the players supposed to have a meeting with Gottfried today at 4? I wonder when we will start hearing about their decision to stay or go

also, fuck Zeller and Henson for staying at Carolina next year (with Barnes possibly following), they are gonna be preseason #1 I bet now

4/6/2011 4:39:49 PM

as they should

4/6/2011 4:41:00 PM

as they should

4/6/2011 4:51:14 PM

Carolina pays players, that's how they keep them

4/6/2011 7:28:19 PM

don't forget about the tutors

4/6/2011 7:33:07 PM

Not sure if this has been posted, but a good interview with an Alabama blog

He better get these guys playing defense, or we will be looking for another coach in 4 years.

4/7/2011 12:14:42 PM

which is why it is important that he get a good assistant with a defensive mind--one of the reason we liked hearing Gaudio's name thrown around.

"as they should"

Josh Powell and Cedric Simmons shouldve stayed as well. However got in their ear shouldve talked to Ol' Roy and convinced them to leave

4/7/2011 12:22:16 PM

that was in reference to them being preaseason number 1

4/7/2011 12:24:35 PM

Take it back about Simmons. He's a dominant force for the Dongguan Leopards.

4/7/2011 12:25:35 PM

yeah, fuck them

if josh had stayed, he wouldn't be in the nba today. he did what was best for him at the time, the system herb was running wasn't really the best fit for players like josh and ced and i really don't know why he stuck with it for so long once we were able to get better athletes to come here like scooter, cam, jules, etc. there's absolutely no reason why scooter shouldn't be in the nba right now when you think about they type of player he was and the potential he had coming out of high school. herb killed a lot of player's potential.

4/7/2011 12:39:25 PM

I still have a love/hate relationship with that ACC Tourney run Powell had

LOVED his play

will always HATE JJ Redick for single-handedly taking an ACC Championship away from us
