dfwabel Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 They did look at Sean, but he essentially told them to GTFO.You look at the tree...not the apple which falls from it. Dayton went after him, rather than NC State, for a reason. The same reason why your Wildcats went after Mike Stoops, and not Bob in football. Hopefully, your mind can grasp that analogy since it has an Arizona feel to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkrdevil Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 As I mentioned in the general College BBall thread, the big issue facing NC State is the person doing the hiring. No one wants to work for Debbie Yow. She pretty much fought with every coach at Maryland including the ones she hired. Her relationship with Gary Williams was notoriously bad. During the 2007 season she basically had an Associate AD call up the Washington Post and bad mouth Williams (on the record BTW). That was completely unprofessional and whether she ordered it or not she set the culture for that to happen, even if Gary himself had been a bit unprofessional in the matter. The last couple of years the Women's assistant coaches made more than the Men's assistants. On a smaller scale her last coaching hire at Maryland was for a new lacrosse coach and it went similar to how this NC State coaching search went. She has a terrible reputation. Combined that with also having to play 3rd fiddle to Duke and UNC (and sometimes 4th to Wake) and that job is a terrible job. Especially when you consider in Basketball you can have success at a "mid-major" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when you consider in Basketball you can have success at a "mid-major"The last NC State search in 2006 was much more public and Lee Fowler screwed that one up. Barnes, Calipari, Lavin, and John Beilein were all offered then and turned the job down before settling on Lowe 34 days later. Barnes is from Hickory, NC and turned it down again. Yow might be a problem, but the actual job is more of an issue as you are #3 in the Triangle with 19,000 seats to fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

MDC Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 This is just a real letdown. IMO this was the least appealing finals match-up, and oh boy, has this game sure has been unappealing. Connecticut looks so disinterested, and Butler cannot take advantage and instead are content with jacking up NBA-depth 3 pointers. Ugh. ---Owner of the NHA's Philadelphia Quakers, the UBA's Chicago Skyliners, and the CFA's Portland Beavers (2010 CFA2 Champions)--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knnhrvy16 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 This is unbelievable. Un-freaking-believable.The simplest way to put this: UConn isn't beating Butler; Butler is beating themselves. 17% FG shooting, and TWO points in the paint by 4:56 left in the game. WOW. The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right.

WOW.I wouldn't go that far. A pretty big part about why they had no points in the paint is because Oriakhe and company are blocking just about everything inside and are dominating the boards, so Butler doesn't get any easy putbacks. UConn missed an awful lot of open shots in that first half, so it goes both ways. Connecticut's bigs are too big and athletic inside for Butler.

Lights Out Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Also, as unfair as it may be, Butler has pretty much just set all mid-majors back ten years with this pitiful performance, because unlike the brand-name schools, mid-majors get judged collectively by individual games.

Still MIGHTY Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Seriously Jim Nantz?In the last 30 seconds I think I heard "UConn is the top dog," "they came into a dog fight," and "Huskies are best in show"Were you saving all those for the end? Couldn't have thrown those around earlier haha.Anyways. Glad that ordeal is over. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
