packpride sucks. I decided to try the free subscription to see if I could get any scoop a little sooner. They are far behind everyone else. Just got off the phone cancelling the free trial.

I like Archie...but Collins is the first assistant I'd hire.

4/5/2011 2:10:09 PM

fwiw the general consensus around the Duke program is that Collins is next in line for K, don't think he's going anywhere

"^That. And I would really like to know what truly went on with SS and GM and why neither would take a big pay raise to coach here."

Its quite simple. Let me show you.

a.Making 2million at ncstate for 4 years before getting fired and making pennies for the next 4 years= 8 million
b. Making 1 million refining yourself at vcu for 8 years before getting a huge pay raise= 8 million

Any coach would rather have b. Risking your entire career to make more money in the near future is not worth giving up a secure job making half the money for more than twice the time.

Staying at VCU is literally going to earn Shaka more money.

4/5/2011 2:14:45 PM

You forgot

c) actually believing in yourself and knowing you have some skill and won't get fired and make $$$$

4/5/2011 2:20:50 PM

oh shit

4/5/2011 2:20:51 PM

or

d. Make 2 million, get NC State to the final four, make an extra 400k, over ten years earn 20 million + 10 million in incentives and stay or retire or turn down job offers left and right for the rest of your lives.

4/5/2011 2:20:59 PM

alright now we need a feed STAT

or does that mean it will be via twitter

I'd rather have A. Same money in half the time. Selling yourself when your stock is as high as it's going to be. Work 4 years and kick it for the rest of my life or work 8 years and kick it for the rest of my life, etc.

That's the stupidest fucking thing i've ever heard.

If someone ask me if I want 8 mil in 4 years or 8 mil in 8 years - it's a no-fucking-brainer.

4/5/2011 2:23:20 PM

4/5/2011 2:31:10 PM

4/5/2011 2:31:27 PM

He's already got the jacket

4/5/2011 2:31:31 PM

Fuck it, he had a pretty good couple of years from 2001 to 2006 with his own players, I'd be fine with it

4/5/2011 2:31:32 PM

-1000 on Yow credibility if it's gottfried.

4/5/2011 2:31:38 PM

PackPride's twitter -- they usually don't post unsubstantiated things either. they were the first one to post about the press conference, too.

^4 to prevent the madness that is about to ensue. lower your expectations.


what's Yow supposed to do? we struck out with everyone we wanted.
