I like Gott’s cool demeanor with a young team BUT sometimes you gotta get in these guys faces and get them riled up…
Normally I would agree with you, but ask yourself if you wanted Buckets even more riled up than he already was.
–Whiteshoes…. you nailed it…. but may I ask you one question…
When and who was the last game our Coaches were visibly effective during the last ten minutes?
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Coach is tripping on the radio post game….
Said he thought we got ‘good shots’ at the end of game which sealed the victory.
He does have better seats than we do.
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!We have all heard of “encouraging losses,” well, I guess this is a discouraging win. Everything from the intensity of the players, the offensive sets we were running, and the overall “smarts” of this team is probably on the same level the one last year. With the coaching staff we have sitting on the bench, we should be showing tremendous improvement game in and game out; instead, it’s the same old same old.
Cheers
Coach is tripping on the radio post game….

His post-game remarks have become cliché. I wonder what he will say about letting a 17 point lead slip away.
Hopefully they can deal better with playing ACC teams that have a little more height (see game vs. Tennessee).
I know good basketball when I see it, and that wasn’t it. Credit UNCG. But we gotta be better than that if we want to be taken seriously nationally. We better have a big time conference run in is or else we ain’t sniffing tourney play.
Around the 15:00 mark of the second half and leading by a dozen or so, our team decided to take the rest of the night off. They stopped working on offense. They started flailing on defense and not working through screens. I guess they decided that they had already won the game.
WBS was sent in obviously instructed to put some energy into things on the offensive end, and he tried, but the rest of the players, TJ included, didn’t seem all that interested.
They let the other team whittle away the lead and even gave them a chance to get ahead…fortunately, they just weren’t talented enough to do it.
That has to stop. Basketball games are forty minutes long and a 12-15 point lead ain’t much when there’s more than two minutes left on the scoreboard.

This is Tobacco Road… and most of us have played better ball than what we saw tonight.

^This is fair, but I like his positivity … this is a young team. The biggest problem I have with the lead slipping away (see also: Detroit, Tenn) is that we didn’t respond – at all – to the other teams’ punches. The other teams played looser and tougher … We have to do something about that.
Alpha, I couldn’t agree more. This team cannot afford to let up, especially going into conference play.
Queue “State has a habit of blowing leads” from every color announcer we hear for the rest of the season.

Sorry Coach, but I’m not hearing that junk tonight.
Queue “State has a habit of blowing leads” from every color announcer we hear for the rest of the season.
Yep. And I can’t say that it’s not deserved. Concomitantly, queue State fans whining about every color announcer remarking how we blow leads. Respect is earned.
They played with a small lead with TN. Yeah they cam back but we were expected to lose to them. I think they showed composure in that game. Also did for 55 minutes against Mizzou. Like people have said its a young team. It’s going to be process. They will be some bumps.
Somebody will say “We only had one day to prepare for this game…”
But the way I see it…
We played two “short” teams in a row…. The same “game plan”, IF EFFECTIVELY EXECUTED, ( the entry pass to BIGS ON THE BLOCKS OFF A SET PLAY ) should have brought us two DOUBLE DIGIT wins.
And I ain’t taking NO for an answer… and neither should anybody else.
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!My thought on post-game interviews: if Gottfried tells you how he really feels, he’d be excoriated for throwing his team under the bus. If he covers up for them by reverting to Coach Speak, he’s not being honest. Sounds like a “can’t win” kind of deal.
Thing is, I don’t give a flip what he says in post-game, that’s mostly for people driving home from the game. What I do care about is what he tells the team and the other coaches behind closed doors.
Look at this way: remember after State lost to Duke a couple of months ago in football, and Dave Doeren said a lot of positive things in the post-game radio interview? From other reports, after the game you could hear him yelling at the players in the locker room from twenty yards outside the door. Obviously, what he said and what he knew and believed were different things.
You can bet it is the same for Coach Gottfried.
AW… you might be right…
but… I like this guy….<iframe width=”640″ height=”360″ src=”//www.youtube.com/embed/CQKbLsoCt28?feature=player_embedded” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!In a pick up game at the Y Buckets would score his teams first 9 in a game to 11.
Better have a closer.
SFN & Techies,
Using a Droid Razr Maxx. The site resolves in half screen format (to the left side). You have to enlarge it. Happens on every refresh. The response box is extremely touchy and you lose text. It also reverts to a wider screen and you can not see all the text. The older format was easy to use. This one is not.
However, on a PC, it is much better. Mobile needs to be reviewed.
ON THE GAME…I was there. Upper level of GC was not used. Three sections of one end zone were blocked. Crowd was decidedly RED. Looked like a PNC game. Unfortunately, not a LOT of energy from RED…Admittedly the pep band and the Announcer (OMG….what a MORON. He is a throwback to the PROJECTION ENUNCIATION of the 60’s…I had a few lessons….IRRITATING) kept TALKING. The music was blaring….it was TOUGH to get any “opponent” cheers going.
The Team, save Vandy looked OK at the outset. Vandy was AWOL. Gott pulled him and spent more time with him, 1 on 1, than I have seen this year. We never had any interior play. We seemed to be waiting for a gift basket of rebounds, rather than getting in position and getting them.
When TJ is the leading rebounder…we have a problem. We finally climbed out of the hole we dug towards end of H2.
THEN, we came out like a team that had had it’s rear chewed out and all the perks such as the NCSU Equivalent of Sweet Carolines REMOVED. That worked for a while and you can not keep that mental edge or intensity….so it faded.
BUT, we did have a sizeable lead. We played tentatively and UNCG (even HB Wes) stepped up. We missed critical FT’s and TJ threw away the ball…but God bless him, he is our scorer.
Cat scored more points, but still seems intent on improving his APPG than dishing off. TJ looked like Whitt had been coaching him or maybe Gott and he decided to try out his new 3-pt shot. 3 PT Shooting is NOT TJ’s strong point.
The RED Crowd really got into it within the last 5 minutes. I personally think they should have been chosen POG…
UGLY WIN….but a W.
Hats off to the Lady Wolves….what a season. Pity the poll filler-outers don’t recognize that.
