Even if you’ve been living under a rock, surely you’ve heard by now – Sean Miller’s sophomore-laden Arizona Wildcats delivered an epic, vicious beating to senior-led, defending national champion Duke last night. Any chance of an “under the radar” courtship, or U of A passing on a bidding war for Miller’s services – completely out […]

Miller’s ‘answers’ won’t squelch State speculation
WRAL’s Ken Medlin summarized it perfectly… Miller took the middle ground — he didn’t deny interest, and he didn’t make a play for the job. In this article, the N&O’s Luke DeCock attempts to break down the different angles of the But State fans looking for a glimmer of hope will see one there. And […]

Todd Turner: The very first person I called was Rick Barnes
Interesting article from Caulton Tudor. Before Sendek, Turner said he made runs at Tubby Smith (then at Georgia), John Calipari (Massachusetts at the time), Mike Montgomery (Stanford) and Dave Odom (Wake Forest) after approaching Barnes. “I learned then how really tough it is to get coaches to change schools if they’re comfortable with the situation […]

Glenn on Barnes(not exact words): -State threw the kitchen sink at Barnes the 2nd offer. Here is the difference between doing it professionally and doing it poorly.

How Good (Bad) Is The N.C. State Hoops Job?
Must read from Al Featherston. Parrish repeated the same glorification of Sendek, although he didn’t make the Patrick mistake of claiming he was fired. Instead, he wrote: “N.C. State fans were so tough on Sendek after five straight NCAA Tournaments that he decided to walk away and escape a scenario where he would very clearly […]
