Re: Haith…The ACC Problem?
You really need to read the previous entry from earlier today before reading my comments. The Atlantic Coast Conference has traditionally had a “gentlemen’s agreement” that league members would not poach coaches from each other’s programs. The conference office has traditionally played a role in maintaining order around this issue. Therefore, SFN can foresee the […]
Outside the Box – Goal of the Search?
What are the key drivers behind the overall mission of securing NC State’s new head basketball coach? At first blush, this sounds like a really stupid question. But dive a little deeper behind the obvious and consider the issue of longevity in relation to the question. I ask you following: * How important is it […]
Calipari Playing the Media…again and again
If you’ve noticed, we’re not looking to marinade in misery today. The sun came up just like expected and it is time to be smart, be excited, and move on. BUT, this little diddy from ESPN is too (insert adjective here) to ignore: I’m kind of impressed with John Calipari’s loyalty to his Memphis assistants, […]
Fowler Not to Blame on this One
Link to tonight’s coaching conversation I know that I am the last person in the world that you ever thought that you would see writing this piece, but I’ve seen a lot of Wolfpackers on message boards (and on this blog) trying to criticize Lee Fowler for the John Calipari situation.

This is a short one…so, while you are here take a look around and have some fun. I don’t live in the Triangle anymore, so I don’t have the opportunity to listen to a lot of local sports radio. But, from what I can gather, Taylor Zarzour of 1090AM has done a very commendable job […]

But tonight, you can officially throw out almost all of your Packer criticisms. Tonight, Billy Packer enters the StateFansNation Hall of Fame (at least […]
Is Fowler Talking Lavin?
About 4 or 5 years ago when Lee Fowler was still relatively new to his position at NC State, a friend of mine whom Fowler knew well had the ‘pleasure’ of spending some time with Fowler. We will call my friend, Mr. X. (Quotes are paraphrases here since I am only relaying a story from […]

First on Gillispie, Thank You
Since the Wolfpack’s coaching search is so full of mumbled-rumors right now that it would be irresponsible to share anything, we thought we’d take the lead from our bretheren at Pack Pride and take a tangential diversion. We obviously have to give Pack Pride some credit for charting our diversionary course….as it may take them […]
