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 […]
Coaching Conversation – Compare all Candidates to Haith
Contrary to many Wolfpackers preconceived notions, the sun did come up today!! Instead of moping and whining about some slimeball that played us, it is time to turn our sights to the future. We think that most people already have. Before we get going we want to thank some NC State “insiders” who we understand […]

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 […]

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. I had to chime […]
Simmons to Evaluate NBA Stock
Whomever ultimately fills NC State’s Head Coaching vacancy may have an extra scholarship available to use as the news just keeps getting worse. N.C. State sophomore Cedric Simmons will enter the NBA Draft, sports agent Kevin Bradbury said Tuesday. Bradbury, a Chicago-based agent with BDA Sports Management, said Simmons will test the draft waters before […]
Calipari Down, Fans Cold on Brady (10pm Update)
John Calipari is staying at Memphis. With that comes the conclusion of the John Calipari 2006 Contract Renegotiation Tour Ultimately, the guy ended up being the slimeball that so many people warned us that he was. We don’t express these sentiments out of frustration for Calipari’s rejection of NC State. We say this because of […]
