I know that the timing of News & Observer’s string of articles around the 40th anniversary of NC State’s 1974 National Championship Basketball this mo
[See the full post at: Sunday’s salt in the wound – NC State, Phil Ford article in N&O]Phil Ford may have had some problems with beverages and motor vehicles, but he is one of the good guys.
I understand the context of the article, and the irony. Just saying that it’s a shame Ford even has to mentioned in the same paragraph as the sham that UNC became.
It needs to be noted – and taken with a grain of salt – that this article was written by Andrew Carter, the N&O’s dedicated UNC reporter. You can’t expect him to have an objective opinion on how UNC achieved there place, because his job is to pander.
I liken this to if Joe Gilio wrote about the Butch Davis years of recruiting and how it resulted in mediocrity because of Russell Wilson, a 2 star recruit.
Phil Ford made it well known that he wanted the State job in 2005. Would have been better than Lowe, frankly.
I would have taken Larry Brown with Phil Ford as lead assistant. Larry Brown can f-cking coach. See SMU, as Exhibit A.
Instead, LB recommended Sidney Lowe highly. He certainly can’t recommend anywhere near as well as he can coach.
Too bad for us UNC-Cheat is coached by an old-timer, who was around for those 9 losses in a row and remembers NCSU-UNC being THE RIVALRY in the the state. Roy would rather walk over broken glass and have his players run wind sprints over broken glass than lose to NCSU.
Too bad for UNC-Cheat fans as well, because they’ve moved on from the 1970’s and only care about beating Duke. They look at NCSU as a poor suffering little brother, who they will regularly root for against other opponents, because it’s better a UNC System school win than someone from out of state.
Larry Brown can f-cking coach. See SMU, as Exhibit A.
Not only can Brown coach, he cannot stop coaching. He could’ve retired, but he won’t. The man needs to be on the sidelines.
If Ford would have gone to State, Dean would have been the one moving on and Sloan would have stayed on and won more games than he did post ’74, imho. As it is, we all know the score on the court and in the classroom. They have won a ton of games. They are all tainted wins since way back when.
above:…..Roy would rather walk over broken glass
and have his players run wind sprints over broken glass
than lose to NCSU.he Has Said he would rather beat State than eat.
AND, his players won’t eat after the game if they don’t win.
obviously, there’s more than x/o and recruiting going on there.beating Duke means more to the students.
beating us means much more to Roy.Man…I need Packfanistan’s clap thingy for your guys ‘ get.
