Good luck. Memphis has been trying to get him to hire an experienced assistant coach for the last 6 years. He refused to! He doesn't want anyone on his bench who can out coach him.

And perhaps one of his conditions of employment here is that he will in fact hire same and listen to him?
Might it be that we have a slightly more competent, trustworthy and authoritative AD than you do?
Yeesh.

So is the troll. Me no like trolls.
I want to be enthusiastic about CJP until or unless I have thorough and good reason not to be. Coming on our board and gloating seems childish. Fine if he does it on his own boards, in like-minded company; I'd sympathize with that. Not here.

What's mean is to imply our AD is better than their's. (tic)

If you believe half the rumors around RDU the cost of a new assistant is the cheapest part of paying for Gottfried's flaws

Oh you know you're gonna have to elaborate on that one.

I will butt in and add that NCCSU is losing 55 ppg if Abu does not return. They have a nice PG signed, but nothing else seems likely right now that is even close to his level. Oh, and they lost 13 ACC games last year with two future NBA players and three other 4* recruits. The RDU natives are restless.

I shouldn't throw rocks. They're giving us money.
Why do people keep saying this? They're NOT giving us money. They're giving Coach money. There is a difference.

You are technically correct, but by giving Pastner money they are reducing what we would have had to otherwise pay him, so you could actually say they are giving us money.

I would accept that, EXCEPT that they are giving Coach the money for 2 years and we signed him to a 6 year deal. So, either Coach expects to get a raise within tow years, or he was willing to take less money...the amount Memphis kicked in to him did not help much (although I, for one, would not sneeze at an extra Million plus bucks).

There are rumors that range from him breaking up the marraige of a prior NC State player to NCSU now having to fund an downtown apt for him due to his wife running him out of the house. All under the general mantra of horn dog.
As for next year they have Henderson and Dorn available which were not available this year plus one of the top 5 PGs in the country. They will be demonstratively better next year than they were this year. That is the reason the twins decided to transfer out.

Which (I hope) translates into us having more to spend on quality assistants for Josh that we do in fact find, court, and hire. That's what I mean by giving "us" money ... providing we spend it wisely.

I happen to think it is extremely important that Bobinski had a frank discussion with CP about the troubles at Memphis and did not simply accept any self-justifications and defenses CP might have made. MBob could point to that record against top 100 RPI programs as a cause for concern and one in which he expects CP to show the maturity necessary as leader of the program to seek out advice and counsel from an X's and O's assistant. He can point to many other HCs who leaned on strategic gurus on the bench. There is no shame in that and it is part of being the head guy (like key councilors for the king), but to do so the wunderkind label needs to be shed.
I hope we get proof in the form of someone hired soon who has a clear reputation as a strategic coach. If this does not occur then it seems to me that we will have cause for concern. Of course, hiring the best x/o guy guarantees nothing on gameday, future still as unknown as ever, but I think it is needed as a sign of good faith for the fan base as regards both CP and MBob.

re: Gottfried: the natives in Raleigh are very restless. Partly due to the product on the floor, partly due to the rumors of his indiscretions. Who knows if they're true or not? The same thing was rumored about Jeff Jones at UVA. Bottom line, when an ACC team falls from the level the fan base is used to, things get ugly and rumors fly. If State catches some breaks next year and finishes 9-9 in conference and in the NCAA, there will be no talk of his sex life. If they finish in the bottom four (which I think is likely), it will be all over the Wolfpack boards.
