UPDATE: The following was written in the hours before news broke that Mark Gottfried would be NC State’s new men’s basketball coach. It’s still interesting to note the blunt nature of Debbie Yow and how she has presented the NCSU coaching job. Â It shows that she does not want to “lure” anyone to a position […]

Debbie speaks
Dear Wolfpack Family, I am writing to share with you the status of the search for our new head coach for men’s basketball. There have been telephone conversations with successful coaches that did not develop into meetings — sometimes because we did not wish to pursue those coaches further and sometimes because the coach involved […]
Winning the Press Conference
As the Internet continues to grind out speculation regarding the the coaching vacancy in the Wolfpack men’s basketball program, the now legendary thread on the StateFans Nation forums got me to thinking; what really drives this collective desire to find out any information on who the next coach might be? Why would hiring Rick Barnes/Billy […]
When Champions are Made… ADs, not Coaches…
I hesitated on whether to bring this to the SFN community at large or just make a forum post, but I think its worth throwing out there in light of the “misinformation” being spread on the blogosphere and the recent outstanding blog post here on SFN’s homepage. Â This is the moment NC State fans have […]
Will it be Rick Barnes this time around?
 Despite the warning by BJD95 in his “Tin Foil Hat” theory, and despite the fact that every indication suggests the wholly competent Debbie Yow is keeping the usual insiders out of the loop this time around, Saturday’s rumor mill is churning: SFN community member, ‘Strutter’ posted on the forums today that an offer has […]
BJD’s Official “Tin Foil Hat” Deductions
At the bottom of this link, I told you to relax about the information void. Now, I hope to help make sense of all the static in the atmosphere. Important disclaimer – although I believe my deductions are logical, they are in no way based on specific intelligence. This is ME talking from my gut […]
ESPN Blog: NC State tailor-made for Tubby(Updated Tubby entry – 3:15 pm)
Updated at 3:15 pm: Apparently Eamonn Brennan of College Basketball Nation Blog hasn’t gotten the memo from the national talking heads yet. He thinks one of the best coaches of the last 20 years might actually be a realistic target for NC State: Smith is clearly frustrated, and with good reason; 2010-11 is the second-straight […]
A Reminder of SFN’s Role
Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen a mini-tsunami of ignorant analysis from the national and regional media. SFN has chronicled same here, here, and here (likely a few others I glossed over). As much as I subscribe to the “don’t feed the media trolls” philosophy, it’s hard to completely ignore such nonsense. It’s gotten […]
My Personal Vision For an Orderly and Civilized Transition
I don’t think it will surprise anyone to hear that Sidney Lowe’s 5th season coaching the North Carolina State Wolfpack will be his last. I honestly don’t think anyone with an IQ above room temperature would dispute that statement. Ordinarily, there would be lots of fire and brimstone when a coach is clearly in the […]
