Don’t worry, WolfWiz11, you’ll be a fan again next year when we’re winning.
Let me just take a sec to interject, win or lose, what a friggin awesome coaching job by Gott to have us playing this well ON THE ROAD against our rival and the #5 team in the nation after the 0-4 conference start. He’s got our asses playing beyond our abilities in this one.

Played ’em about as tough as we could. Tie game at the half, and we outplayed them the first 20 IMHO.
2nd half we ran out of gas and played 5 on 8 a good bit of the time. I think it was a 12 point diff when the buzzer sounded.
But we’ve got nothing to hang our heads about. /end WufGrrrr, had to miss this one. Just got back. Although I’m not a fan of moral victories, it sounds like the boys acquitted themselves well.
That was the game plan this team can win with. Props for a fresh look on offense. A little ball control, less 3s, more shots at the basket, and capitalize on the teams strength…offensive rebounding.
One Helluva Coaching job to get our kids mentally and physically ready to go the Dome for a massacre…
and…
One Helluva of effort and execution by our kids…Coach has GOTT to be ACC Coach of the Year this season…
=================
We have nine players…
one is injured..
that leaves eight…one guard and seven forwards…
that means two guys are playing out of position all the time regardless of the opponent…Honestly, I’m almost surprised that we play as good a set offense and strong defense as we do…
did I mention… three of the eight are Freshman ?
Like I said…
Coach has GOTT to be ACC Coach of the Year this season…GO PACK!
POP!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Coach has GOTT to be ACC Coach of the Year this season…
Holy hell that’s absurd.
Recruiting and keeping your players is a part of coaching not an excuse for a crappy year.Buzz or Brownell will be your coach of the year.
Didn’t watch this one. We’re 0-5 and in the basement, with two tough ones coming up this week. Fantastic!
Recruiting and keeping your players is a part of coaching not an excuse for a crappy year.
This is a true statement…
and in no ways was I making excuses….
————–
But you still GOTT to lead them in practice and during the games…
and you don’t get to be ACC Coach of the Year when you have a bench full of Mac5stars and Seniors..just ask Uncle Roy and Mikey the Rat ’bout that…
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Rick my friend I agree with you. Im just thankful i quit watching them after Wake. I hope the best for them but proof is what is on the floor.

Bill,
I have to appreciate someone who can be so optimistic he suggests a winless coach for COY.
I truly tip my hat to you.An Observation…
I hope Anthony “Cat” Barbour doesn’t get a complex of some sort about playing in the Dean Dome…
which might be the Number One reason he’s wearing Red and White his Senior Year…We all remember the infamous CatAgainstTheWorld – 1 for 13 from the floor- game his freshman year…
Today it took all they had with THREE TarHOLES to keep the Cat on a leash…Equal credit must be given to Coach and Anthony for all the hard work they both put in during the last two years…
Player Development is as important in evaluating Coaches as Wins and Losses…
We GOTT to give GOTT & Company a “A” in this..————
Rick… of course… the idea that GOTT will be ACC Coach of the Year this year is absurb on seven different levels…
I was just trying to create an equilibrium of absurdity relative to the level of conversation on SFN lately…
Now do you your girls average more than 20 points a game and what kind of defense do you teach ’em ?

I hardly think complaints on the state of this program are absurd but to each his own.
Ncsu should never be dfl
This is the first UNC/State game I have missed by choice in probably 8 years. Yet, I feel strangely fine. I called my dad who is a huge State fan/donor despite not going to the school and asked him if he watched it. He said he spent the afternoon in the yard and forgot all about it. Times are a’changing my friends and its not for the better.
Glad our kids made UNC work in the first.
Just saw where UNC got the #1 soph recruit from NC. How in the hell is this still happening with sanctions on the horizon and Roy eyeballing retirement. Something doesnt add up here. Are we really in a position to make a strong move when roy boy, K, Pitino, etc leave for the golden road? Its like our program is imploding in slow motion and there is nothing we can do to stop it.

Oh you think UNC is going have something happen to them?
How quaint.“Equilibrium of Absurdity” …
does have a nice ring to it…
I GOTT that from Quantum Physics… which the “normal” rules of physical & mechanical physics are contradicted all the time..
which requires new paradigmatic thinking in order to explain the world around you…
enjoy!

Tell us more about your girls Rick…
Might be more fun that whatever else we have to discuss..#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Tell us more about your girls Rick…
Might be more fun that whatever else we have to discuss..If you really want to know. This is the first year they are allowing zones. So I am running a 1-3-1 trap. I tried a motion offense assuming the other coach would run a zone but she stuck with man so I will run a double pick instead.
We only had two practices so it was ugly but tons of fun.Just saw where UNC got the #1 soph recruit from NC.

How quaint.What can I say, I am an eternal optimist.
Rick…
the 1-3-1 with kids is borderline brilliant as most coaches at the lower levels lean heavily on a 2-3 because it’s a lot easier…
so then in practice they learn the offense that goes with the 2-3 …when the kids try to play a 2-3 offense against a 1-3-1 it’s a total disaster…
now… what I did when I was coaching is this..
I would setup my zone defense so that it looked like a 2-3 …The other Coach yells “ZONE” to his kids and they go into the 2-3 offense..
when the ball went to one side or the another the forward comes up and the guard traps and you in the 1-3-1…try that…

Good idea. I want to execute the 1-3-1 correctly first (it was very chaotic today) but even if the other coach knows what to do, very few girls can hit the baseline shots needed to beat that zone.
1-3-1 with little girls executing? I salute you sir and sincerely wish you best of luck! Could be a game changer, Rick!
Girls are good at trapping so a 1-3-1 is an obvious choice.
As for the Pack, nobody will comment on the effort when we post a perfect season. It’s just sad to watch. I tried to avoid it but the shredder overheated.
Rick – go with man-to-man – of course, you probably can’t call it that. If you can get kids to play that with passion, very effective.
Regarding the team itself, they did a solid job today. This year is no longer about making the tournament, its about avoiding a devastating setback and playing well enough so we’re not a bad joke in the eyes of recruits, but rather perceived as a program just player or two away from contending for something special.
Girls are good at trapping so a 1-3-1 is an obvious choice.
oh yeah…
Rick…
you DO have your best player running the baseline in the 1-3-1 don’t you???
and IF you tell them … when they’re are on Defense… they are “distractors” instead of defenders..
their eyes will get big and sparkle and they will amaze you…#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!
