I'm sure Fedora will do something like win 4 games his first year and then put his name in the hat for every open coaching position and leverage himself a nice raise

"Wilbon just called out UNC when discussing Ohio State being able to have two coaching staffs working at the same time. Said that "Ohio State as well as North Carolina ran afoul of the NCAA rules," as well as some other stuff. He said it was unfair to the rest of the schools."

this is spot-on. Ive been thinking the same thing since he was talking in the PC about how as soon as he's done, he's going to go out on the recruiting trail, and that's a huge advantage because that means (if they want to) Withers et al could still recruit AS well as coach the team for the bowl game, whereas if Fedora was coaching, he wouldn't have time to call and visit recruits plus game plan. He's already been in contact with numerous recruits for UNC including Gurley. There's a reason the NCAA limits you on the number of coaches you can have on staff.

Apparently on Roy's radio show, he was talking about how they chart assists:

Quote :

"“If Kendall Marshall comes down and throws it into John Henson and John Henson goes to lay it up and gets fouled, Kendall Marshall has done his job. So when we’re grading the tape, we give Kendall Marshall a full assist for that. But in real play, they don’t give an assist unless the basket is made. We also give half an assist just for throwing the ball because we feel the basketball has got to go inside. So for us, Kendall had 16 assists in the game Saturday, but he probably had 25 assists the way that we grade it.” "

I think he got this from ESPN's "If Barnes made 1 more shot..." idea

Haha, I had forgotten all about that. That was absolutely retarded.

And ^, lol at them just making up stats.

12/14/2011 11:06:17 PM

I don't see what's wrong with how they count assists. It's their internal tool for improving themselves, and it makes sense.

A guard should absolutely get credit for passing the ball into a big man who goes on to make high value points (free throws + foul on the other team).

Our guards should get 3 assists for passing the ball to CJ Leslie inside the arc. Lord knows we need to do that more. They should get negative points for passing to Howell or Painter.

12/14/2011 11:12:43 PM

I kind of understand the assist for the guy getting fouled...but I don't get this one:

CJL should get an assist for every time he even thinks about passing.

"iNCeST" - do they really use that over there? Also, bull butter.

^^ They don't even deserve "Carolina" to be in their name, I guess. UNC does have them doubled up in wins in football so I guess that's fair.

It IS a minor violation however given the current state of the football program with the NCAA it should be taken seriously. He should held out of the bowl game for violating NCAA rules. Now are you talking about the second paragraph. He did not qualify academically and had to attend prep school so that he could qualify. If he were not a football player, he would not have attended Carolina. Not what part exactly do I not know what I am talking about."

"This probably isn't allowed by the ACC , but if I were in Fedora's shoes and wanted to get some attention for the football program at UNC, I would announce that no team under his direction will ever accept a bowl bid UNLESS it had achieved at least a plus-.500 conference record. Such a benchmark would establish a winning attitude immediately among the returning and new players, and convey Fedora's seriousness. It might also spur other schools to follow suit, which in turn would help end the mindless, ridiculous bowl matchups between marginally -- at best -- qualified teams. At the very least, it would spur some level of motivation, which was painfully absent by UNC in Shreveport. Finishing above 500 in the conference would still enable Carolina to play a decent out of conference schedule, while putting more emphasis on winning conference games. The latter is, after all, the only road open for UNC to ever get into a BCS bowl. A team with a 3-5 record in a weak football conference has no business going to a bowl game. Period."

"The official attendance for the Belk Bowl was 58,427. Did you notice how empty the upper deck was? Now if we look back to when the Belk Bowl was the Meineke Car Care Bowl, UNC got the invite in 2008. The official attendance was 73,712 when the boys in that heavenly blue played the mountaineers. At that time it was the largest crowd ever to watch a college football game in North Carolina and that year it was the 4th largest crowd for any of the bowl games. UNC is a national brand while you guys are a rawlee brand, no one knows you outside of rawlee. /so what we lost that game //we still your daddy"

the empty half of the upper deck was Louisville's half. Couldnt tell from where I was seated, but I'm pretty sure that our half was nearly full.

their half btw:

12/29/2011 11:18:12 PM

their side sucked.

our corner and side were around 95% full

12/30/2011 12:14:27 AM

if the attendance was 58k, we were probably 45k-ish of that.

we did our part.

UNC is a national brand! 73k in 2008! and only 50k in 2009

Quote :

"The Tar Heels' appearances have accounted for two of the game's three sellouts; the 2008 game attracted its largest crowd ever.

However, the 2009 game only attracted a crowd of 50,389, the smallest in the game's eight-year history."
