I learn something new every day! Imagine my surprise when I learned that it was […]
Wolfpackers Jumping Off Ship
What a day!!! Lee Fowler’s annual version of “I support Sendek” has unleashed a fire storm out here in the real world where workers are held to standards and decisions are based on merit and not only on personal infatuations of big farmers or career climbing Jethros. I haven’t been in the office since this […]
Like Clockwork, Fowler’s Mouth Starts Running
It started today. Despite warnings to the contrary, I can promise you that it won’t be ending today. Lee Fowler issued the first of many “I support Sendek” statements this morning through the News & Observer. Can “Q&A with Lee Fowler” on GoPack.com or Pack Pride be far behind? I am going to venture to […]
Bilas Offers Advice That Will be Ignored
Lee Fowler issued the first of many “I support Sendek” statements this morning through the News & Observer. I can promise you it won’t be the last.

Bubble Coach is Good Enough For NC State
Tom Sorensen from the Charlotte Observer in today’s article: We hear about bubble teams. N.C. State’s Herb Sendek is a bubble coach. He’s too good to fire but he’s not good enough to fire up fans. He has a winning record but he can’t beat Duke or North Carolina. He always gets to the NCAA […]
John Delong Gets It Right
John Delong has penned the best article we have read on the Sendek Situation. Frankly, I consider it all absurd, because unlike most, I don’t see this issue as being black and white. I see all kinds of shades of gray. I think it’s possible to praise Sendek and be critical of him, to like […]
Stick To Basketball, Dukies
Irony, thy name is Duke Basketball Report. In a spittle-flying screed entitled “Cheap Shot From A Cheap Site,â€? the DBR fulminates over the Giant comparing the Atlantic Coast Conference to France (our alma mater), England, (UNC), and Germany (Duke) – the last of which I describe as the new strength arising under a malevolent leader. […]
Texas Takes Sendek Behind the Barnes
Alternative titles to this entry can be found here. I’m not going to spend time breaking down last night’s 21 point loss to Texas in the 2nd round of the NCAA Tournament. I shared a pre-game analysis that I think was on target, so you can read that and just add to it what you […]
Coach K Defends Herb Sendek at PC
Coach K came out swinging today in support of Herb Sendek. “He’s really one of the terrific coaches in our country,” Krzyzewski said. “He’s a proven winner. It makes me appreciate what we have at Duke with the support we’ve had.” “There are still some (Iron Dukes) I would never talk to,” Krzyzewski said. ” […]
Sacre Bleu – We’re French!
Sometimes a home truth just hits you like a ton of bricks. Here in the Triangle, State is a distinct third to two other programs. We’re #3, and Fowler’s proud of it. He boasts about our alleged basketball accomplishments even though there’s no real reason to do so – particularly with those elite programs right […]
