[QUOTE="g0lftime, post: 805945, member: 2672"] I have lived in the RTP area since I "Got Out" in 1974 and observed coach V from his hiring day. He was a great story teller and very funny. The local press loved him and he did great radio interviews. He was a breath of fresh air compared to Dean Smith. He was a fantastic recruiter and got a lot of good players from Dematha. Things got a little out of hand after he became AD and the president at the time gave him basically anything he wanted. They even had a star senior center flunk out after fall semester but reinstated by the president if he promised to do better. There were pizza delivery robberies, corvettes driven by player girlfriends, players robbing other players' apartment. It was a hot mess in Raleigh. Coach V is still beloved by State fans and he was super likeable. I liked him as a coach and he must have been fun to play for. He was known for his motivational talks to his players. I am sure they still adore him. He was a good coach but no saint. [/QUOTE]
