That was also talked about. He's a definite West-Coast guy.... but honestly, NC State is the best position open right now. He's also 57 years old, I believe. Apparently, he's interested. We'll see
4/3/2006 1:10:58 AM
Is Montgomery out of the NBA already or is he on is way out?
4/3/2006 1:11:01 AM
4/3/2006 1:11:28 AM
He coaches the Warriors, right?
4/3/2006 1:11:38 AM
yea, i dont keep up with coaches really....didnt know huggy bear went to kstate
4/3/2006 1:11:40 AM
i hope he would
4/3/2006 1:11:58 AM
He'll probably step down / be fired this season from Golden StateHe never did anything in the NBA
4/3/2006 1:12:01 AM
what about jeff jones?
4/3/2006 1:13:06 AM
^^Yeah I didnt know who he was at all until I googled. I put 2 and 2 together. also...The only thing different between Herb and Beilein might be that Beilein is a better motivator. His offense sucks too, dont mistake it. Everyone I know that is a WVU fan gets pissed cause they live and die by the 3.Wouldnt you know it???????????????????????????????????????????? WE DID TOO.[Edited on April 3, 2006 at 1:15 AM. Reason : ]
4/3/2006 1:13:40 AM
he tried the NBA waters and its not working out so well like it happens with a lot of great college coaches...hopefully he'll come back to coach in college where he belongs and I would love it to be NC Statehere's some of Mike Montgomery's college coaching background per his nba.com profile
4/3/2006 1:13:53 AM
Montgomery would be absolutely great. No one on that list got me super-excited except for him. 1) He's not leaving for the pro's, obviously2) He's a proven winner at freaking STANFORD...which means he can handle ACC academics3) He's clean, obviously (see: Stanford)4) He's a well known name... so recruiting.....5) Runs a wide-open offense... great defense6) NBA knowledge / recruitingI think he'd be an amazing hire. If this is all true and we really are talking to him... only Calipari, Pearl, or Wright would change my mind. For those who like to rag on me, notice I didn't say Barnes. Luigi, you listening [Edited on April 3, 2006 at 1:19 AM. Reason : ]
4/3/2006 1:17:58 AM
no way id leave cali for nc...but who knowsmark turgeon was mentioned by espn...but i dont want a mid-major guy. thing is, we might have no choice.
4/3/2006 1:19:08 AM
4/3/2006 1:19:39 AM
Sounds like the only negative for him would be age. I dont give a fuck though cause he doesnt look 57 and I think he'd be damn good. Stanford was a powerhouse while he was there for a few years, and had some heartbreaking losses in the NCAA from what I remember.....better than getting blown out in the second round.
4/3/2006 1:20:25 AM
I just hope if it came down to it and he became our #1 and wanted it, we could appease him with salary. Like I said, NC State is the best position open, and he's obviously not staying in the NBA. Only OU could beat us at a bidding war..... and OU isn't exactly a great place to live or a basketball haven
4/3/2006 1:21:37 AM
ah shit, i forgot about the 1998 tournament. fuck montgomery, dude almost gave my grandmother a heart attack here's a name: Frank Haith[Edited on April 3, 2006 at 1:25 AM. Reason : .]
4/3/2006 1:23:18 AM
I've heard a lot of people mention Haith... I don't know why, really?He's had an exceptional player that he piggybacked into a decent season, and he's nothing special. The ACC wouldn't allow it, but I wouldn't want it. I'd rather have Herb to tell you teh truth
4/3/2006 1:26:26 AM
I didnt know about this Montgomery guy, but if we cant get him, and have to go for a no-name....lets get Gregg Marshall.
4/3/2006 1:28:10 AM
If we go for up-and-comers, to me, it's a toss-up between Marshall and Gillespie. I'd probably rather have Marshall, but Gillespie would probably get it
4/3/2006 1:30:42 AM
I'm fairly confident we're coming away with Montgomery if we can't get Barnes.I've had this feeling all day.It just makes too much sense.NC State is easily the best job available, and he is probably the most attractive option.Besides, he's already made a shit load of money in Golden State so he wouldnt be as pricey as Barnes I wouldnt think.It's not like Montgomery needs to be lured away from anything...
4/3/2006 1:30:50 AM
Gillespie is from Texas, probably wont happenI'd take Turgeon before I take Marshall. WSU>Winthrop
4/3/2006 1:33:47 AM
yea Montgomery is definetely going to be in the market for a new job in the near future and the NBA is out of the question now
4/3/2006 1:34:07 AM
Supposedly, one of the mods on Statefans is going to post an early list. Hopefully Montgomery will be on it.... I'm not trying to get everyones hopes up. Like I said, someone I know that gets 15th hand info has said we have contacted him and he is reciprocating interest
4/3/2006 1:34:41 AM
4/3/2006 1:36:05 AM
Regardless of what happens, I feel like we're all winners.I'm really looking forward to basketball next season.I've been giving high fives all day, I feel like a school girl again.

i hope this isnt like the matt daughtery saga at UNC..
4/3/2006 1:41:59 AM
I dont think it will be as long as our players keep their damn mouths shut.And I dont think we have any that are close to being Rashad McCants.
4/3/2006 1:42:59 AM
Herb was the D'oh saga.

4/3/2006 1:52:10 AM
i say we take some chances and go after a young coach with alot of potential
4/3/2006 1:53:44 AM
we just got done with a young coach who had a lot of potential.
