I still use the moniker for HWSNBN. He was so divisive, that he doesn’t deserve his name even spoken.
I was a student at NC State when Les was there, and then when HWSNBN was hired. We had paid our penance with Les. He’d taken one for the team and navigated through one of the most difficult situations anyone could. It was time to hire a winner. Campus buzzed at names like Pitino and Calipari. Then we got HWSNBN and Florida got Billy Donovan. Which one came out the clear winner there?
That man has more to do with NC State’s current second class position in basketball than anyone directly related to the basketball program. He Fowler, Turner, the administration above them, and all the fluffers that propped him up have collectively blown us off the map. If we ever get back to the V days, I will be shocked.
