So what does Haith to Mizzou mean for State? Obviously Haith wasn't on our radar...I wonder, does that mean Shaka wasn't interested in Mizzou at all...or was his asking price too high?

4/4/2011 12:12:07 AM

Sounds like money took Mizzou out of it

4/4/2011 12:14:13 AM

Ouch.. Reading their boards.... Hope that's not us soon :/

4/4/2011 12:14:31 AM

Frank Haith is not a good coach. Before offseason firings, I considered him the 3rd worst coach in the ACC...ahead of Hewitt and Lowe. I would have thought Mizzou could have done better than Haith.

4/4/2011 12:18:33 AM

They can't be happy about that

4/4/2011 12:22:03 AM

The Missouri AD sounds like a moron and this was their panic Sidney Lowe hiring. I can't think of a historic Missouri player they could've brought in instead so I guess their guy was Haith

It could be worse, guys. At least we had Calipari (and this time Donovan) as pipe dreams, their equivalent was Matt Painter

4/4/2011 12:26:17 AM

joeovies: I'm ignoring anything you might forward me from Swaim. Guys has been wrong with just about everything NC State related.

4/4/2011 12:42:14 AM

CBS Sports now think Frank Martin is going to go to Miami

4/4/2011 12:43:53 AM

Frank Martin WANTS that job

But I heard he makes 1.5 at K State. No chance Miami and their cheap Athletic Department ponies up for him

4/4/2011 12:46:59 AM

He is from Miami, I understand his extensive history with the city of Miami, but they won't offer him nearly what K-State will, and he won't leave for less money with such a good thing going on.

4/4/2011 12:50:40 AM

on the plus side, we won't be getting haith now.

4/4/2011 12:52:20 AM

Miami has a better chick scene than K State

4/4/2011 12:53:27 AM

pretty hilarious that Miami's acting AD is going to help hire a football and basketball coach

4/4/2011 12:57:33 AM

^And end up with better coaches than we have most likely

4/4/2011 1:07:26 AM

No students at Miami care about the basketball team

(or recent football that much for that matter)

Miami's acting AD did not hire Al Golden.

4/4/2011 2:01:33 AM

oh yeah, I see

got my timeline all fucked up

4/4/2011 2:09:41 AM

Gregg Marshall's looking pretty good now huh.

4/4/2011 6:27:12 AM

no


Let's just hire Bruce Pearl

[Edited on April 4, 2011 at 6:51 AM. Reason : ]

4/4/2011 6:37:52 AM

^^ Nope still (and always will) look like Sidney Sendek.

4/4/2011 8:05:37 AM

how the hell do you go from almost getting Painter to Frank Motherfucking Haith

4/4/2011 8:06:59 AM

same way we almost got billy d williams

4/4/2011 8:40:59 AM

Man, this thread reminds me when we got CJ Leslie

^^ I would rather fuel the pipe dream that is Brad Stevens coming to NC State. Better if Butler loses. Otherwise of course I would be pulling for them.

4/4/2011 9:00:46 AM

Hey, all you kids on campus...any truth to the added security on Morrill Dr leading to Reynolds?

4/4/2011 9:07:04 AM

Always wondered why you would bother showing the men's coach Reynolds.

"Here's Reynolds Coliseum, where you might play one meaningless game per season."

4/4/2011 9:11:22 AM

I'd say more along the lines of "Here's Reynolds Coliseum, where Everett Case, Norm Sloan, and Jim Valvano coached teams that owned the ACC and won National Championships. Will you be the one who brings us back to that level of success?"

4/4/2011 9:14:09 AM

^^I doubt it's on any "tour itinerary," but if it were, I'd assume it'd be more to show the deep history and heritage of NCSU basketball. Also to show the strong ties to the Southern Conference and the ACC, being that it was the original home to the ACC tourney and there have been some historic games played there.

^yep

4/4/2011 9:16:23 AM

I agree about the coaching thing, I just like underdogs; especially seeing them make it to the finals two years in a row.

4/4/2011 9:17:03 AM

Raycom reporting that Yow and Barnes met over the weekend while he was in NC with his family.

Not that I trust Raycom, but they had to get it from somewhere....

4/4/2011 9:18:32 AM

Barnes: "For the last time NO! Leave my family alone! How did you get my address?"

4/4/2011 9:19:37 AM

^^Rick Barnes could be elected President or CEO of Microsoft and still people would be saying "he might leave to come coach NC State! Realy!!!"

Most college basketball coaches are probably college basketball fans.

Yea...obviously there's no shot regardless but I have to think at this point that winning the Title would give him a "my work is done here" type feeling more than losing would make him want to move on. I think making the final game back to back is more than enough proof that he can compete at the highest level despite playing the Horizon League

4/4/2011 9:31:17 AM

^^ We don't use the damn thing anymore so, meh. Fun for historical value I guess. Can't see how it "sells" someone on the job.

[Edited on April 4, 2011 at 9:32 AM. Reason : ...]

4/4/2011 9:31:35 AM

It's pretty early in the morning for this, but you're an idiot.

4/4/2011 9:38:30 AM

seems like the added "security" would be near the WB

4/4/2011 9:40:02 AM

Difference of opinion. I tend to think $$$ and the current venue are a bigger draw to our school than the women's gym. Good for a stroll down memory lane, other than that, meh.

I see you turned around on Shaka though, good for you!!!

4/4/2011 9:40:38 AM

I don't see where anyone said a visit to Reynolds would be a larger factor than money.

Continue to fail all over yourself, though.

4/4/2011 9:42:20 AM

girls take it easy... shaka is all about buying in as a team and you are not showing that this morning

4/4/2011 9:43:04 AM

^^ I just said what's the point of bothering with Reynolds, since the new coach really wouldn't be using it. That was in response to the "heightened security" at Reynolds. It's like, why bother with all that, just go offsite to seal the deal. It's not like taking a look at Reynolds is going to have any impact on if the guy takes the job or not.

[Edited on April 4, 2011 at 9:44 AM. Reason : ...]

4/4/2011 9:43:15 AM

Obviously the next coach wants to know what facility they'll be playing Winston Salem State in so they can start preparing

4/4/2011 9:44:37 AM

Because maybe the coach wants to see a cool-ass basketball building.

It's not like we're throwing him in the trunk of Yow's Accord and dragging him in.

WHY'S THE COACH WANNA SEE CAMPUS

NOT LIKE HE'S GOING TO CLASSES LOLOLOL

[Edited on April 4, 2011 at 9:45 AM. Reason : It's not going to seal the deal, no one said that. But it's nice to see our fucking history.]

4/4/2011 9:44:57 AM

My bad, I thought with all this Barnes, Donovan, Miller talk we had coaches all over the country lining up to take the job sight unseen.

4/4/2011 9:47:25 AM

Any coach who wouldn't be interested in seeing Reynolds can gtfo imo. That's THE biggest part of our basketball history.
