time to look in the mirror coach

^^to be fair, kyle washington got a DNP in 2 of the last 11 games down the stretch and played fewer than 10 mins in 6 of the 9 games he did play in. he wasn't a starter at that point. but i agree with your point

yeah, gott benched washington for taking ill-advised shots. this year, he praised rowan for doing the same exact shit.

3/24/2016 4:09:29 PM

To be fair, we were running set plays for rowan to take a shot, whereas washington was getting the ball at the high post supposedly to look for a cutter and instead cranked up a long 2 every time.

3/24/2016 4:48:16 PM

Rowan played lots of minutes out of necessity. He wouldn't have started if Henderson didn't get injured. ^Your hate for Rowan is weird.

3/24/2016 5:09:15 PM

Mav is bad defensively. but i'm pretty optimistic about him offensively.

3/24/2016 5:18:41 PM

Abu gone too. I wonder if Dennis smith jr is wondering how he made such a terrible choice yet?

3/24/2016 6:03:07 PM

He's not officially gone yet

3/24/2016 6:06:11 PM

Yeah how has being optimistic worked out for us so far this week? He is gone

3/24/2016 6:06:52 PM

3/24/2016 6:11:48 PM

Abu gone, official now

i don't hate him. i think he's a huge defensive liability and i think that our team was better when both martin brothers were on the floor instead.

i also think he's overrated as a shooter.

[Edited on March 24, 2016 at 6:43 PM. Reason : but it doesn't matter now, because he's all we got.]

3/24/2016 6:43:08 PM

can't wait to hear justin's bitch ass crying when he gets taken out out of pure necessity, Rowan takes 20 shots a games and lands on All-ACC 3rd team next year.

False

If abu is gone i will excercise an emergency action to officially elevate my position to "fire gott"

3/24/2016 8:13:42 PM

If abu is gone it's because he's a first rounder, and that wouldn't be gotts fault

3/24/2016 8:30:45 PM

This shit season with 2 first rounders would make gott one of the worst coaches ever and yes not winning with elite talent would be his fault.

3/24/2016 8:38:18 PM

Cats not a first rounder. Neither is Abu. But yeah you'd be right

3/24/2016 8:47:54 PM

We are so fucked. I didn't know it was possible to restart a dumpster fire, but apparently the disaster that was 2015-2016 is now a raging inferno that will fuck our program over for at least the next two years.


Fucking insanity...I feel like Yow needs to issue a statement or something addressing this bullshit.

3/24/2016 8:53:18 PM

I have been a Gott supporter but starting to get a little worried now. I didn't like the benching of Washington leading to his transfer. The Martin's transferring doesn't make me as mad assuming we get some bodies in here to play next year as they were decent but not losing the most talented players.

3/24/2016 11:05:53 PM

Anybody talking about Abu being gone is stupid af.

[Edited on March 24, 2016 at 11:15 PM. Reason : And we have zero 2016 first rounders for the record.]

3/24/2016 11:15:07 PM

If we have no first rounders then the coach is to blame for guys leaving early. Pick one.

3/24/2016 11:18:28 PM

I'm nominating that for weakest false dilemma of the year.

Sure, but it would be nice to have them available on the bench. We continue to have no depth.

3/25/2016 12:02:47 AM

for this reason is why you recruit those three star guys that you can develop into junior and senior starters and your not left with empty bench spots due to mass exodus. We are not Kentucky, Duke, Kansas were we can just recruit 3 to 4 top 20 every year to replenish our roster. Gott has to be smarter recruiting

3/25/2016 8:06:23 AM

Caleb and Cody were exactly those kinds of players and they rolled out. Outside of DSJ and landing Maverick, the past 12 months of NC State basketball has been a fucking massive train wreck of disappointment and shitty luck (injuries to Henderson and Freeman).

We'll never win championships then.

^ At least you put yourself in a better position. Right now the go after all top 5 recruits isn't helping and hasn't quite put us at championship position yet either has it (3rd from last in the ACC this year)

3/25/2016 10:38:31 AM

Who has time to create a new troll account so frequently?

3/25/2016 10:40:53 AM

oklahoma doesn't even have a 4* player and they have a decent shot at winning

3/25/2016 12:33:14 PM

y'all want to recruit more 3 stars to be "coached up and develop" but still bitch that Gott can't develop players and maximize their talent.

3/25/2016 12:54:39 PM

^^Hield was a 4star by rivals and espn

3/25/2016 1:05:59 PM

Gott is just awful in every aspect except recruiting. Our program is a ponzi scheme

3/25/2016 1:11:55 PM

You're a histrionic little bitch

3/25/2016 1:20:54 PM

Butch Pierre to NCSU???

+1 credibility for nabbing Pierre.

3/31/2016 3:42:03 PM

Supposedly a great recruiter:

3/31/2016 4:00:22 PM

A couple other candidates if Pierre falls through

3/31/2016 4:28:09 PM

didn't think recruiting was our problem

3/31/2016 4:45:09 PM

It isn't necessarily, but can't hurt to be better.... and maybe we can use some more scholarships.

And supposedly he's ranked (on some list) as the 5th best assistant coach (and Early is 15th).

3/31/2016 4:50:29 PM

So when does Bam sign?

3/31/2016 5:15:17 PM

Butch Pierre was the man in 2008 when I was a freshman at LSU and took over after John Brady was fired.

My favorite interim head coach of all time.

Man that team sucked

[Edited on March 31, 2016 at 5:36 PM. Reason : B]

Just a replacement for Moxley considering his health.

Orlando and Butch recruiting? That's a heck of a combo punch

Can we fire this clown already?

5/2/2016 11:55:53 AM

that makes little sense to me. transfer and sit out a year so he won't go to the NBA for 2 years or go to the NBA right now? if that's the case he must REALLY hate state and/or the coaching staff.

5/2/2016 12:06:56 PM

what the butt

5/2/2016 12:07:56 PM

basically every transfer to date can be explained and understood (even if we, as fans, disagree with the reasoning)...this one would be truly insane.

5/2/2016 12:09:50 PM

wish we could hear his words in context

5/2/2016 12:16:00 PM

I believe the reason for Abu's transfer is the departure of defensive guru Lutz #sauces
