yeah but we were short on players, and talent. or maybe the martin twins were defensive geniuses

My boss (who used to work with Bobby at UNCC) said he was not a great recruiter (called him a yappy dog) but said Lutz was a great X's and O's guy.

Maybe Gott was doing the recruiting and Bobby was working more on the fundamentals. No Bobby = fucking trainwreck even with great recruits?

2/16/2017 8:48:29 PM

Perhaps the reason they announced it with 5 games left is so they can go ahead and officially start the search for the replacement? Maybe they can't start a search without having fired the driver to begin with?

2/16/2017 9:08:38 PM

Why do the reporters hate us for aspiring to a level above medicority. It's like they assume we demand Natty's and an undefeated record vs UNC. All I want is an acc championship. A banner to hang in the rafters that isn't named for deodorant.

2/16/2017 9:45:28 PM

^ I agree. IU is about to can Crean and he's had significantly more success than Gott (granted in a longer period), but somehow we should be ashamed for wanting a modicum of consistent success. If Gott had Creans results at State, we probably would have built a statue. But ass clowns like Goodman and Borzdello just like to troll us because we give them clicks and retweets.

2/16/2017 9:53:43 PM

So on 99.9 today Jeff gravely mentioned that during a time out in the duke game, one of our team members was looking at the banners instead of listening to Gott. Orlando Early tried to get the players attention, and the player responded with a big fuck you. Jeff cited that incident as an example of how the staff had lost the team. Which one of our entitled players was it?

2/16/2017 11:07:47 PM

It was Rowan.

Here's this word again, cuck. What does it mean?

I'm glad someone else caught this. I was wondering the same thing when I heard it.

2/16/2017 11:52:57 PM

""My friend who told me the likelihood of the washington and martin twins transfers months before it happened (with proof on tww for both) told me that Gott has completely lost the lockerroom and that players are beefing with dsj. Also mentions if we were to make any non-ncaat tourney, dsj wouldnt play. Take it all for what its worth. His family is considered "in the know". I told him that I'd talk about it online, he said he didnt care at this point. Troll away (tt10, bullet, etc) 2/5/2017 5:12:50 PM""

He has now been spot on 3 out of 3 times. Given that his family disliked Gottfried, odds are I dont get this kind of info anymore :/. But if he tells me stuff and is ok with me posting it to fans, i'll continue. I asked him today about any transfer rumors and he hadn't heard anything.

yes this is correct. hard to go around contacting coaches about a position that isn't vacant without looking bad. and it sounds like Gott asked to finish the year because he wanted to and Yow let him...which, i agree is an odd thing. but i'm fine with it.

2/17/2017 7:15:07 AM

^^ This is a stupid new meme then. I wish we were still shutting the bed and using rack focus in bathrooms.

Crazy. Stupid. Love was a mediocre movie.

2/17/2017 7:21:01 AM

i want to see him bench all the starters for the duration of the season. it would amuse me so.

2/17/2017 2:04:26 PM

I mean def bench whatever asshat told the coaches to fuck off instead of listening.

2/17/2017 2:17:35 PM

Can somebody with #sources find out why he lost the lockerroom? Was it related to his preseason "This is Dennis' Team" crap and playing favorites in general, or what?

[Edited on February 17, 2017 at 3:00 PM. Reason : ^ pretty sure that was terry henderson]

2/17/2017 2:59:54 PM

They way he ignored Gott talking to him during the game Wednesday was pretty disrespectful so I wouldn't be surprised.

possibly, but everyone save DSJ and yurt7 that contributes significant minutes to this team were hear last year... and worked with Lutz. Did. EVERYONE get a lobotomy and just forget?

If Lutz was -the guy- and he was the one teaching fundamentals the only one who should have shottty fundamentals is yurt and hicks. But everyone including Dorn and Henderson suck at even the basics of basketball

2/17/2017 3:05:31 PM

DSJ was here last year as well.

2/17/2017 3:33:51 PM

Jevoni! Block that shit!

Ahhhhhh that's true ^^

2/17/2017 5:40:05 PM

The best article I read (don't remember which one) was the one trashing State fans for our expectations, praising Gott for his successes, and then listing Crean as a good replacement candidate once he gets fired for failing to live up to the rightful expectations of Indiana fans.

2/18/2017 2:08:45 PM

I don't know what's sadder - that story or the fact that half the players weren't paying attention and a few others were holding back laughter

2/18/2017 2:20:48 PM

the players behavior is the sadder part imo.

2/18/2017 2:26:30 PM

Fuck this team.

2/18/2017 3:30:52 PM

No. Fuck our coach.

2/18/2017 3:52:11 PM

Aren't we all in the last stage of grief

2/18/2017 4:07:23 PM

Fuck this team and our coach for recruiting them

2/18/2017 4:08:09 PM

Great W, PAL!


Seriously though, if he had made that shot, it would have been the perfect closure to the Gotts era

Those last five minutes may have changed Debbie's mind. We held the lead with great composure.

2/21/2017 10:16:06 PM

GIVE THIS MAN A CONTRACT

2/21/2017 11:22:02 PM

I respect his attitude to our shit for brains and attitude fans we have. Myself included

2/22/2017 1:05:27 AM

+1 for no more regular season losses

3/1/2017 9:57:44 PM

Not sure why we switched to zone defense for a while in the second half. We were doing good on stopping them and switching to zone seemed to give Clemson a spark.

3/1/2017 10:17:12 PM

IT'S FINALLY OVER

3/7/2017 2:14:32 PM

because he loved to switch to a zone, a shitty zone that he didn't coach well, at the worst possible times.

3/7/2017 2:40:31 PM

Lock it up. Thanks for a couple S16 runs.

3/7/2017 2:52:35 PM

the fun parts were really fun.

the bad parts were so so so terrible.

3/7/2017 3:07:25 PM

Sports Channel 8 would get one of the 4 questions in the Gott post game.

3/7/2017 4:22:51 PM

Apparently he waved the double deuces in his post game, so much for going out friends....

3/7/2017 4:23:52 PM

^ lol if true. I'd like to see a gif of that.

3/7/2017 4:51:00 PM

Lol not sure literally, verbally. Just essentially reflected the natl media narrative of us insisting we beat unc/Duke. Although he closed out the quote on a more positive note, which I didn't see earlier.

Here it is

Quote :

" I don't know that I would really directly answer your question. Here's what you got. It's a great place. NC State is a wonderful place. Different than every other job in this league. You look around all these banners, all these other schools, nobody else is compared daily the way our guys and our program is to North Carolina and Duke. They're just not. I think it says the fact that in six years, four tournaments, two Sweet 16s, two years missed the tournament, they're hunting for a new coach. I'm not sure that's happening at about 50 percent or 60 percent of the rest of the league, quite honestly. In that regard, I've said it many times, tough neighborhood. The other part about it is for us, just like when we recruited Malik, or Dennis, or T.J. Warren, or [Brandon] Ingram, or Bam [Adebayo] at Kentucky, Grayson Allen, or all those guys, we went after the best players, got some, like this guy. We did. But missed on some, too. The expectation at our place is a little different than maybe it is at some other schools. It's a great place. It's a tough situation because of some of those things. But I wouldn't trade my experience here for anything in the world. Would not trade it. Loved every second of it."

I initially only saw the bolded part. At least he bracketed his trash talk with good talk, but Debbie won't exactly be showing that quote to new candidates.

[Edited on March 7, 2017 at 5:09 PM. Reason : Quote]

3/7/2017 5:06:00 PM

to be fair, he's called this a "tough neighborhood" all along. he just phrased it differently and somewhat more positively previously.

3/7/2017 5:26:31 PM

""I think there’s probably half the schools in this league that would take our six years and be excited as hell about them,” Gottfried said. “For some reason at N.C. State, it’s not good enough.”"

Yeah, well fuck you guy.
