Just curious, why did Mark Armstrong report this when he did? Was he trying to hurt us? Or was he just trying to be the first on the scoop? It just seems weird.

he's a reporter who is doing his job. he said all his sources were telling him the same story, no conflicting information, so he'd be bad at his job if he didn't go with it.

Yup ^

There's no media agenda here. It's a reporter doing his job. Don't be mad at him, be mad at state people leaking it

i'm not suggesting that, just asking, since everyone is saying how bad this hurts us.

Armstrong has a clear history of tweeting (and reporting) pro-Canada stories. He obviously is trying to damage the credibility and greatness of American basketball, due to the fact that Naismith was actually a Canadian, and therefore Canada should receive credit (and all accompanying benefits such as Olympic gold medals) for inventing the game. Clearly, Armstrong is one of those bad hombres our president warned us about.

I can't wait to see what happens tonight. They're probably just going to completely roll over and seal the deal tonight. Straight up open rebellion

If he's lost the locker room or whatever so many times, then yes. That's exactly what would happen.

I mean you might as well just ax Gott now and let one of the assistants get some experience for the next gig. Seems only fair since they're all gonna lose their jobs anyway

I thought Gott was a good offensive coach but three of his recent seasons the offense was get the ball to Warren, then Cat, now DSJ. Starting to remind me of Sidney Lowe's NBA isolation offense.

I still don't see how we could go from 4 straight NCAAs, two sweet 16s, one season where we actually performed well considering how thin we were, to this season where we are completely hella stacked but play like absolute shit.

It honestly feels more like a blue chip recruit fucking up team chemistry.

does gott get fired now?

i mean, i know he is going to get fired by the end of the season. but do the leaks and reports and yet another embarrassing performance make it happen any sooner? imo, go ahead and get it over with. pull the plug now and put him out of his misery.

those of you who booed Mark Gottfried during player announcements before the game, go fuck yourselves.

Do you think our players, future coach, and potential recruits want to hear that? If you are pissed, contact Debbie Yow and voice your displeasure.

I agree with this. Pretty classless. That said, our leaky-ass athletic department is partly to blame for this mess. I don't think he is a good coach, but he doesn't deserve to get absolutely pummeled on his way out the door. Shoulda been either fired after the Wake game or allowed to coach through the end of the season without dozens of articles written about his demise. Either way he has achieved some success here, represented the school well and deserves to exit semi-gracefully.

I am only guessing that the trigger would be pulled today. Like over lunch or something.

could be way off though. It's not like any heart or anything was left out on the court last night to make me change my mind though.

I don't see the benefit of firing MG during the season unless we have a sure replacement that is ready to be named very soon.

As was already said, why do you think it's the athletic department who is "leaky" and not the people/agents/managers of the people they spoke to?

Because every other athletic department can make a coaching change without their shit getting posted by a dozen sportswriters weeks before anything happens. Now you could still put that on agents and managers, but that would mean that all those people have it out for us becuase it sure isn't a good look and that still ends up reflecting poorly on the AD.

I dont understand why we have to be this narcissist? Every Power 5 school goes through this when they fire their coach. Case in point: Strong/Texas, Miles/LSU, Crean/Indiana
