HELL YEAH! LONG LIVE SID'S RED COAT!

3/9/2007 9:28:56 PM

i think it should be reserved for Duke/unc games

3/9/2007 9:29:27 PM

didn't he wear it the second time we played carolina? granted he did only stay for half the game

3/9/2007 9:29:39 PM

Maybe if he wore it for every game we would never lose again

3/9/2007 9:29:45 PM

I HOPE HE NEVER TAKES IT OFF! HE CAN'T LOSE!


BOB KNIGHT... WATCH YOUR RECORD!

3/9/2007 9:29:58 PM

Why the overemphazised focus on a Jacket... RED is out school color, and ALL our coaches should be wearing a red jacket..

3/9/2007 9:29:59 PM

Yeah, Wake games would be justifiable too. But whatever, if that works so be it.

3/9/2007 9:30:09 PM

there is no overemphasized focus on the jacket, its just really pimp, not to mention the whole 3-0 thing

3/9/2007 9:31:36 PM

lets be honest with ourselfs 3-1/2

3/9/2007 9:35:41 PM

one point deficit at the half... 41-40

we were in it.


He is 3-0

3/9/2007 9:36:09 PM

3 - 0.5 is probably more accurate. I agree though, keep it to the rival games

3/9/2007 9:55:39 PM

3-0 with a no decision

3/9/2007 10:01:17 PM

I hope he has more than one. That thing is going to be all musty and stanky tomorrow

3/9/2007 10:02:16 PM

3/9/2007 10:07:07 PM

rival games, the acc tourney, NCAA tourney

Sidney's Red Coat (to the tune of Frosty the Snowman)
by Jason

Sindey's red coat was as flashy as it could be.
The team was bad, and the fans were sad
Then the Wolfpack beat UNC.

Sindey's red coat is a fairy tale they say.
It was worn by Lowe but the Wolfpack know
That that coat is here to stay.

There must have been some magic in that old red coat he wore.
For when he put the red coat on, the Wolfpack began to score.

Sidney's red coat was the Wolfpack's heart and soul
Who knows what it cost, but we never lost.
And with it we met our goal.

Thumpity-thump-thump
Thumpity-thump-thump
Watch our confidence grow.

Thumpity-thump-thump
Thumpity-thump-thump
We love Sindey Lowe.

but yeah, it would be great to see a lot of those jackets in the stands....

and apparently, it is the same coat:

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/si_blogs/ncaa_tourney/2007/

TAMPA, Fla. -- As NC State coach Sidney Lowe made his way toward the exit of St. Pete Times Forum on Friday night at around 9:50 p.m., the top item on his agenda was finding a dry cleaner. The bright red blazer he was wearing had been saturated with sweat during 10th-seeded Wolfpack's 79-71 win over second-seeded Virginia, and if he was going to sport it again in Saturday's ACC tournament semifinals, it needed to be laundered.

Three phenomena have defined the first two days of this event in Tampa. The first has been the success of underdogs, with NC State notching two of the tournament's five upsets by knocking off Duke and Virginia on back-to-back days. The second sensation has been Tyler Hansbrough's mask, which we've already covered. The third, and perhaps most talked-about, item is Lowe's red coat. A gaudy, sideline fashion statement has become the symbol for the Wolfpack's improbable surge from a 5-11 conference finish to the verge of stealing an NCAA tournament bid.

Lowe, who wanted to make it clear that he is changing everything else ("I've got four pairs of paints, got four shirts, got ties, and my undergarments"), had the coat made for him by Cary, N.C., tailor George L. Saunders. It was initially intended as "a one-time thing" to wear during NC State's home date with third-ranked UNC on Feb. 3, in which the Wolfpack pulled off a mammoth, 83-79 upset. After that, Lowe said, "I figured I should wear it in the ACC tournament, for the first game ... and then we won, so I thought I'd wear it again."

At this point -- as long as he can get it cleaned -- Lowe has no choice but to keep wearing it. And his team, as crazy as it would have sounded at the start of this week, has a legitimate shot of actually winning the ACC tournament. NC State swept its next opponent, Virginia Tech, during the regular season, and knocked off likely tourney-final foe UNC in the red coat's now-famous debut. In senior point guard Engin Atsur, the Wolfpack have a savvy veteran to keep an otherwise inexperienced team from crumbling under pressure. In sweet-shooting lefty forward Brandon Costner, the redshirt freshman who scored 30 points against the Blue Devils and 22 more against the Cavs, State has an inside-out threat who's been a matchup nightmare for 4s and 5s on the perimeter. (Costner, for the record, is no fan of the coat, but will tolerate it for the time being: "I don't really like it," he said. "It's kind of bright. But we're winning, so I'll let it go.")

Lowe's pick-and-roll-heavy offense has given Duke and Virginia headaches, mostly because the interior duo of Costner and the underrated Ben McCauley have been dominant forces. "The offense is designed to take advantage of mismatches," said guard Gavin Grant. "We know that Brandon is real mobile, and other 4s and 5s can't keep up with him, so we run a lot of screen and rolls with him going high and Ben going low." It clicked so well that NC State was able to shoot 73.9 percent in the second half -- including one streak of nine straight points by Grant -- and erase a 14-point halftime deficit.

What Lowe has done, more than anything, is make his team believe that its season doesn't have to end in the NIT. He was last at an ACC tournament in 1983, as a player under Jim Valvano -- the coach whom the red coat honors -- and the event served as the Wolfpack's springboard to a storybook national title run. "I told them that, every year in this tournament, something magic happens, whether it's a player that no one expected suddenly emerging as the MVP, or a team that surprises everyone," said Lowe. "I said to our guys, if it's going to be a team, then why not us?"

Indeed, why not NC State? With that kind of inspiration, this red coat craze might just carry on all the way into the NCAAs.

We've got an urban wear store in my hometown that sells very loud suits. I'm gonna have to check it out today. I'll post the store's information on here if they have these available in case anyone wants to pick one up.

3/10/2007 11:28:12 AM

^ thanks man.

It would be the coolest thing ever to see our student section wearing them for the big games. We'd be THE REDCOATS!

3/10/2007 12:27:08 PM

I went by the store today and they said they would have to order the red coat and it will take about 3 days to get it. They had one exactly like Coach Lowe has. PM me if you want more details.

He partially stole the idea from you, ActionPants. He just needs a red hat, some red shoes and some red pants.
