4/6/2006 10:12:18 PM

LSU has been solid under Brady. We'd at least stay about where we are now w/ Brady.

Anything other than him and Calipari and we're bound to fall off next year pretty hard like.

"N.C.

Homeless Sports Rollins' Hitting Streak Snapped at 38 Vijay Singh Storms to Masters Lead Martinez Hits Guillen Twice; Benches Clear Strange News Beaver Goes to College to Get New Teeth Inmate Allegedly Tries to Hire a Hit Man School Nightmare: Toilets Stop Working As speculation grew on Tuesday regarding possible contact between representatives of N.C. State and Texas coach Rick Barnes in NCSU’s ongoing search for a new basketball coach, a pecking order of candidates began to sort out. Miami coach Frank Haith is clearly on N.C. State’s short list of preferred coaches, but he apparently follows Memphis’ John Calipari and Villanova’s Jay Wright. There are issues, however, concerning both coaches. Calipari, 46, has an excellent track record. He built Massachusetts from a virtual unknown into a Final Four team in eight years before leaving in 1996 to the NBA. He left behind a mess at UMass, resulting in the program forfeiting that regional championship. In his six seasons at Memphis, rumors have surfaced of potentially similar problems. Sources close to N.C. State say athletic director Lee Fowler is “highly concerned” about Calipari’s reputation, especially considering former coach Herb Sendek ran one of the cleanest programs in the nation and was a reason some prominent Wolfpack boosters tried talking Sendek into remaining at State. “He’s (Calipari) said before that he’s not looking but might listen, depending,” Memphis assistant media relations director Lamar Chance said Tuesday evening. “But he’s also said as long as the administration here at Memphis is committed he’s not going to look at any other jobs.” Wright, 44, is 104-59 in five seasons at Villanova. He has a terrific reputation, but recently signed a 10-year extension to remain at the Philadelphia university, and a buyout could be too expensive for N.C. State, even if Wright was willing to make the surprising jump to Raleigh. Wright has stated several times in public recently he’s content coaching at Villanova. “He’s very happy at Villanova, proud to be here and glad to stay put,” Villanova assistant media relations director Mike Sheridan said Tuesday. Speculation abounded late Tuesday afternoon there had been contact between N.C. State and people representing Kentucky’s Tubby Smith and LSU’s John Brady. Sources couldn’t confirm the talks, but the rumors were pretty rampant that Smith, in particular, was sending out feelers. Kentucky’s director of media relations, Scott Stricklin, said Tuesday nobody representing N.C. State had requested to speak with Smith. He said seeing Smith’s name linked with other jobs is a common occurrence each season, but Smith intends on staying put. “There’s no indication from Coach Smith he’s interested,” Stricklin said Tuesday evening. Before Calipari, Smith, Wright, Haith or any other coach enters into discussions with N.C. State, Barnes must first make clear he’s remaining at Texas, and as of Tuesday night, he hadn’t yet done so. Sources close to N.C. State said representatives were supposed to fly to Austin, Texas, on Tuesday to meet with Barnes, but no trip or meeting was confirmed by the time the Star-News went to print Tuesday night. According to several reports, notably on WRAL television in Raleigh, N.C. State was prepared to offer Barnes $2 million a year. The belief is the longer State continues pursuing Barnes the likelihood he takes over the Wolfpack increases because a definitive “No” is the only thing that will force NCSU to pursue its next candidate. Barnes’ personal struggle, however, could be more at the root of the reported three days since the initial waves were first sent from Raleigh. This appears to be a literal internal tug of war. “I can tell you this, he talks about building an ACC culture here, and he often expresses how tough that is,” a source very close to Barnes in Texas said. “The man has the ACC in his blood. But, he’s got a lifetime job here, and that’s something nobody else can match.”"

^^I would put Gilespie in that category too.

The fire that everyone once loved in Barnes apparently wasn't big enough for him to make the jump

"In the end, State waited a few years too late to make the move on Barnes, just as they have missed opportunities for names like Bruce Pearl, Bill Self, John Calipari, and Thad Matta in recent years. Had NC State been more proactive in the management of its basketball program some five years ago when Herb Sendek should have been fired, we wouldn’t be in this situation now."

a truer statement has never been written

damn state, we sat on Suck ass Sendek too long, just as we sat on a Suck ass Carter Finley, and just as the construction cranes have proven, we now have missed on the savior, and have work to do to get back to the promised land

still excited about the future.....just a bit more reserved and nervous now

4/6/2006 10:44:52 PM

^ Where is that from?

4/6/2006 10:46:47 PM

how the fuck can they get that guy in miami to come here....that would be fucked up considering he is in the same conference.....

i dont want the fucking miami coach

we were better off with herb

4/6/2006 10:50:52 PM

A lot of folks really like Haith. He's a Barnes' disciple, a North Carolina guy... and an excellent recruiter (He's personally landed something like 6 McD AA's)

If he could win, being an african-american (the first of the big 4 schools) would give him a huge recruiting advantage, IMO. Not saying he could outrecruit Roy or K... but I think it would give us a good edge in securing talent.

Question is, can he coach?
