Herb needs to be gone, not because of wins, but because nobody is having fun. The offense is miserable, the players aren't having fun, the fans, even Sendek doesn't have fun. This IMHO is the reason he needs to be gone.

4/1/2006 7:18:46 PM

Dave Odom will be loads of fun.

OH WAIT WE'RE NC STATE, IM SURE WE COULD GET JIM FUCKING BOEHEIM OR SOMETHING

4/1/2006 7:19:39 PM

the players aren't having fun?

are you really that stupid

4/1/2006 7:19:47 PM

YEA I AM THAT FUCKING STUPID.

[Edited on April 1, 2006 at 7:21 PM. Reason : I would take Herb over Odom...I think.]

4/1/2006 7:20:24 PM

haha

he thinks he speaks for everybody

even herb

hahahaha

herb could probably care less

4/1/2006 7:21:07 PM

^^you make non-herb supporters everywhere look bad

[Edited on April 1, 2006 at 7:21 PM. Reason : fhds]

4/1/2006 7:21:14 PM

that's why we keep getting great recruits

who stick around for 4 years

and defend their coach against fuckstains like you

because they aren't having fun?

4/1/2006 7:21:53 PM

He makes the players miserable. I am convinced of it. Why do we have so many transfers? Does anybody think Scooter enjoyed his time here? Powell?

4/1/2006 7:22:55 PM

yeah

josh powell, MOD, meija

great examples

and scooter loved it here

loved it

you lose x1000

4/1/2006 7:23:43 PM

Plus...look how much Herb has your panties in a wad. No Fun I tell you.

I don't think it's either.


Fans dont support the system becuase it has too many flaws that hamper us every year. Streakiness, rebounding, ballhandling, athleticism, etc. Some of you are going to scream about Chris Wright. Well, I was screaming that Cedric Simmons would make us a great rebounding team and have an inside game. We dont. It's not the incoming talent or the personnel... it's the system.

4/1/2006 7:24:46 PM

exactly

4/1/2006 7:25:48 PM

start backpedaling buddy

I certainly don't think we have sucked. We have just ridden the Sendek train as far as it can go.

Sendek to Arizona State

By: Pack Pride Staff

Date: Apr 1, 2006

According to sources close to the situation, Herb Sendek has accepted the men's basketball head coaching position at Arizona State.

Herb Sendek has accepted the men's basketball head coaching position at Arizona State.

The deal includes a substantial increase in pay for Sendek and is reported to be in excess of one million dollars annually.

Sendek replaces Rob Evans, who was fired on March 10.

Arizona State fired Evans at the end of the 2005-2006 season. He spent eight seasons with the Sun Devils, compiling a 119-120 record.

ASU finished its season with a loss to Oregon State at the Pac-10 tournament in Los Angeles. The Sun Devils finished the year with a losing record of 11-17, and Evans' departure had been widely anticipated.

Other candidates for the position had been Pittsburgh head coach Jamie Dixon and ESPN commentator Rick Majerus. Dixon accepted a contract extension to remain at Pittsburgh and Majerus was interviewed by reportedly was never offered the position.

Herb Sendek, 43, had been the head coach at North Carolina State since 1996. In his first season, the Wolfpack went 17-15 and posted the program's first winning record in six years. That year they also made it to the ACC Tournament finals and gained a berth in the NIT. His recent years at Raleigh brought even more success. In 2005-06, the Wolfpack won 20-plus games (22-10, 10-6) for the third consecutive year and fourth time in five seasons.

Furthermore, NC State made the NCAA Tournament in five consecutive seasons for only the second time in school history. NC State lost to Texas in the second round of the 2006 NCAA tournament, and reached the Sweet Sixteen the year before.

The Wolfpack finished second in the ACC in field-goal percentage defense (41.3) and second in free-throw percentage (.751). Sendek’s style of play has been described as deliberate, which hasn’t denied him success in the usually high scoring ACC. He was named ACC Coach of the Year in 2004. He is also known as an elite recruiter, who has landed many Top-20 classes.

Sendek’s college coaching career has been heavily intertwined with coaching great Rick Pitino. He joined Pitino's staff at Providence as an assistant coach between the years of 1987 and 1989, and went to the final four in his first year with the Friars. In 1993 he made it again to the Final Four, this time as Pitino's assistant at Kentucky, where he served from 1989-93. In his last two years at Lexington he was promoted to associate head coach. His first head coaching job, between 1993-96 was at Miami (Ohio), where the team made the post-season each of his three years, including the NCAA tournament in 1995 where they lost in the second round.

Sendek’s record in his ten seasons at NC State was 170-118 (.590), and he had an overall record of 232-144 (.617). His 170 career wins trail only Duke's Mike Krzyzewski (25 years) and Maryland's Gary Williams (16 years) among ACC current league coaches.

Who will want to come here now that we ran off a coach that went 23-10.

4/1/2006 7:49:55 PM

Waluigi, please cite for me where I thought we were going to land Larry Brown. I merely passed on some information from WFNZ that stated that Brown might be interested in coaching here. Passing on a rumor, numbnuts, does not = OMG LARRY BROWN TO STATE!!!11!
