i guarantee that TOB won't win another game before next season starts

3/15/2011 7:33:05 PM

haahhahahaah the best part of the press conference is the guy in the audience calling someone "diesel dick".

hilarious

3/15/2011 7:33:22 PM

what? haha

3/15/2011 7:33:50 PM

TOB really still hasn't done shit. Yeah we won like 8 games against some average teams with a top 5 ACCQB of the decade but the verdict is not out.

I support yow 129%

3/15/2011 7:33:58 PM

i tend to agree with dweedle's analysis

3/15/2011 7:34:08 PM

You don't mention you haven't won an ACC championship in another sport and that the current coach will win one soon in a press conference where you've just announced the resigning(coughfiringcough) of a coach for not winning enough without putting that coach squarely on the hot seat.

3/15/2011 7:37:22 PM

^dumb. it happened to come up when referencing someone else who had won an ACC championship.

3/15/2011 7:39:30 PM

i dunno how someone goes squarely on the hot seat a couple months after a 9-win season with victory's over your rival, capped off by a bowl win

3/15/2011 7:40:42 PM

hahahaha the reporter is reading comments on an article about about butch davis and reads it and says "come on diesel dick... resign"

3/15/2011 7:41:02 PM

fast forward to about the 11 minute mark before they take this down to hear the guy say diesel dick hahahah

3/15/2011 7:42:12 PM

Yow wants to win championships. Not just win 8-9 games and go to a bowl game. She just fired a beloved former player. All coaches are on notice.

3/15/2011 7:43:30 PM

She fired a guy that had the worst ACC record during his tenure

3/15/2011 7:44:36 PM

haha it's at 10:50 and pretty loud gg reporter

yeah but 8-9 wins and a bowl game > zero NCAA tourney appearances

I'm not saying TOB isn't on a hotter seat than he would be if Fowler was still the AD, just that TOB is not on the hotseat

if we struggle next year, thats another story

3/15/2011 7:48:21 PM

video on wral of the interview with Lo Brown. Awkward at first. Ends up great. Lo Brown is as classy as Sid. Very bittersweet day. More sweet than bitter though.

3/15/2011 7:48:29 PM

cant believe harrow got his car towed today on top of it all geez haha

3/15/2011 7:56:10 PM

the TOB comment was really off the cuff, and i didn't get the impression she was "calling him out"

[Edited on March 15, 2011 at 8:08 PM. Reason : back to basketball.]

3/15/2011 8:08:21 PM

The Hodge interview on WRAL is funny. Says Lowe has wolfblood and then references "Dorty" and the Wizard of Oz.

3/15/2011 8:11:55 PM

i love julius hodge

3/15/2011 8:16:03 PM

is that HOOPS MALONE asking all the questions about how Nike could land us a bigger time coach?

3/15/2011 8:21:29 PM

Not unless he sneaks an OOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOO POWER PACK in there somewhere.

3/15/2011 8:26:02 PM

?

from comments on cbssportsline:

Quote :

"Why not Paul Hewitt? I know he tapered off at GT, but the guy knows the ACC & he's seen everything K & Williams have to show. He can obviously recruit talent... I'm also thinking State might be looking at Jeff Lebo at ECU. But my guess is they won't make a move until after the tourney to see who "gets hot" in the tourney."

i'm actually upset at people's stupidity. I mean, if you don't follow NCSU/ACC then why pretend to know anything about it? The next user mentioned we should hire Dino Gaudio.

[Edited on March 15, 2011 at 8:48 PM. Reason : ]

3/15/2011 8:38:23 PM

lol at Jeff Lebo

like we'd ever hire a Tar Heel to be our head bball coach

fans hated it when Buzz Peterson was an assistant here

3/15/2011 8:40:51 PM

I will be pissed if we get an ACC retread (Hewitt, purnell, gaudio) or a unc-ch/dook person(lebo, Collins). I suspect none of those names are on Yows list.

3/15/2011 8:41:51 PM

I loved it when she said that she had a single digit number of coaches on her list. I mean, not unexpected, but still.

3/15/2011 8:46:51 PM

we will get a good one i'm sure

Yeah in no way was she saying: "Tom's on the hotseat" it was just a comment about football not winning historically.

just watched the presser. yow has bigger balls than fowler. she also has integrity and doesnt take shit. i like it.

3/15/2011 9:10:19 PM

that was a great press conference from start to finish.

Even the guy who set up the mics at the 19 minute mark was funny when he said "i rock" and "i even shaved today" haha.

3/15/2011 9:48:34 PM

Brad Stevens. Mark it down. You saw it here second!

3/15/2011 10:22:54 PM

^^disagree. nobody actually knows anything, so brad stevens pictures are legit thread contributions.

3/15/2011 10:28:04 PM

I'm not trying to discredit anything about Stevens so don't misconstrue this 'comparison' but he's obviously the hot commodity based on nearly completing one of the biggest upsets in NCAA history last year. Kinda like Paul Hewitt in 2004. Not that GT beating UConn would've been a bigger upset, but that he got a big extension after making the National Championship game.

What happens to his stock if Old Dominion knocks them out in Round 1?

3/15/2011 10:30:02 PM

It's an 8/9 game so I doubt it will take a hit.

I, for one, would get a TWW raging boner if we landed Stevens.

3/15/2011 10:30:57 PM

^^wasn't hewitt's 04 GT team stacked though?

3/15/2011 10:37:59 PM

boozie is anxiously waiting to see what the numbers on kenpom will look like

3/15/2011 10:38:25 PM

Yeah I believe you are referring to the wrong person pal.

3/15/2011 10:40:01 PM

^^^they were a good team, i don't mean GT beating them would've been a huge upset, just that Hewitt got a huge extension based on making it to the Finals

nba players from 2004 gt team:

will bynum - pistons
mario west - hawks (07-10)
jarrett jack - hornets
scenshcer floated around the nba for a bit

idk if there are any more players from that team that played in the nba because i'm tired of checking but here is the roster

Elder and Muhammad were really good college players too

the crazy thing is to speculate on what would've happened differently if Bosh had come back for his sophomore season

3/15/2011 10:55:58 PM

Muhammed was a shitty college basketball player. All he could do was dunk.

But man, oh man -- that kid was an amazing dunker.
