I thought he was never really in the discussion because of his contract, buyout, etc. I really like him though, he'd be a great fit for us

As those conversations have occurred, coaches have naturally inquired about the potential compensation commitment of State, as would occur in any type of job search. Responding to those compensation questions is not the equivalent of “offering the job” to anyone. Instead, it is simply sharing information that reflects the commitment of State to the men’s basketball program. "

His buyout is supposedly around 1.3 million which is a good chunk of change. It is looking like we are going to have to offer well over 2 million to get smart so why not bite the bullet and offer Grant a little bit more.

Loser of NIT championship to NC State?

if Gregg Marshall could recruit, i think his attitude and cockiness would fit in perfect here.

I keep getting a mental image of the end of season 4 of The Wire, when Carver has to leave Randy at the group home and then he gets beat up by all the other kids. I'm seeing Sid pleading in Yow's office not to hire Marshall and she's like "nothing I can do," then Sid leading Harrow into Gregg Marshall's new office, then going to his car and pounding on the steering wheel in frustration as Marshall beats Harrow with a steel folding chair

3/31/2011 7:25:28 PM

^awesome

3/31/2011 7:29:20 PM

I snapped these photos of the chancellor at RDU waiting to fly out...possibly to meet with a coach. Not sure which flight he was on. My best guesses are Philadelphia or Denver. Those were the main flights leaving around this time.

3/31/2011 7:40:26 PM

not the chancellor

but now you're just going to say that you were joking

3/31/2011 7:41:22 PM

3/31/2011 7:43:59 PM

I lol'd at the right guy's face

3/31/2011 7:46:57 PM

ok, not Randy Woodson. who else could it be?

[Edited on March 31, 2011 at 7:51 PM. Reason : x]

3/31/2011 7:48:59 PM

he must have forgot the search was private and even if it was an employee that was part of the coaching search they wouldnt wear all their NC STATE STUFF onto the flight of a location where the media could jump all over a possible coaching candidate GEEZ CHIEF!!!!

3/31/2011 7:50:35 PM

a dude in a nc state sweater vest

3/31/2011 7:50:53 PM

Tressel?

3/31/2011 7:52:17 PM

pretty sweet sweater vest at that.

3/31/2011 7:53:14 PM

I know for a fact that's Associate AD Chris Kingston.

3/31/2011 7:55:25 PM

I saw a car with a NC State vanity plate over here in Chapel Hill, does this mean Yow was interviewing Roy?

3/31/2011 7:56:39 PM

do you just laugh at that yourself or expect others to follow suit?

3/31/2011 8:01:37 PM

hm good point

3/31/2011 8:02:52 PM

Not Roy, Blake.

Is there any reason we didn't hire Marshall the five years ago? Captain Hindsight? Lee Fowler?

3/31/2011 8:47:20 PM

probably the same damn reason we shouldnt hire him now. he isn't a great coach and he has been around long enough to demonstrate his ceiling--which is probably higher than sid, but probably lower than herb.

3/31/2011 8:49:30 PM

^ bingo

3/31/2011 8:55:55 PM

^^herb never won the nit at an acc school

marshall just did from the mizzou valley conf.

Not saying he should be the number 1, but the dude can clearly coach

3/31/2011 8:57:47 PM

LETS GIVE THIS MAN $2 MILLION BECAUSE HE WON THE NOT INVITED TOURNAMENT

[Edited on March 31, 2011 at 9:01 PM. Reason : only 3 hours left until donovan announces he's coming here]

3/31/2011 9:00:38 PM

Lots of people on Grant's nuts and he got bitch slapped by Marshall.

3/31/2011 9:01:28 PM

that donovan crap really screwed over this search

now, no matter who we get people are going to be disappointed.

Wichita State is a very good basketball team this year and probably would have been at at large if they beat VCU in the bracketbusters

I am happy with either Smart of Marshall, but put smart ahead.
