    Interesting….to me….perhaps others….article. A lot of insight….maybe? Last night I stayed up a little after midnight and was channel surfing for a “Put me to SLEEP Ballgame”. Unfortunately, ESPN was running Whitt’s “Survive and advance”. Could NOT resist it….may fade tonight during the WFU game.

    Good Lord what an idiot this writer is. Hiring Case propelled State to the top of the Southern Conference. The ACC didn’t exist at the time. Sheesh.

    Crean might leave to get another contract at a P5 while he can. IU isnt upping his current one and he will probably be out next year regardelss. So why not go get a 5 or 6 year deal somewhere else, ala Herb Sendek.

    He can get another P5 gig after he is fired from IU next year. He isn’t going anywhere on his own volition.

    TexPack,

    I hope you did not think that I was plagurizing your posts or taking credit for them. I DO try to read all the posts and go back. That N&O article was a summary that was of interest to me and not every poster here has an N&O tab on their browser.

    ALL…

    Tried to post this as NEW Forum….and the server got cantankerous….it MAY appear, but who knows….

    DIVERSION or “No NEW NEWS” was a comment that someone made here or in the OTHER thread.

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/bdavidridpath/2017/03/14/north-carolina-academic-fraud-case-takes-another-sorry-turn/#1c587e78136b

    without hijacking this thread, IF you want some diversion….suggest you read it.

    Seems to me that the UNC Mole in the NCAA or perhaps even the NCAA “leakers” have put UNC on notice that there is “Greater WEIGHT of Evidence” in that they committed academic fraud and there are grounds for LOIC. Banners may be taken down.

    I WONDER who (or what UNC Slush Fund) is paying Deborah’s Shyster? I THINK that the folks have huddled. NOW, despite their best efforts, they are gonna HAVE to let Deborah TALK. I wonder if she has been sent to an undisclosed location for covert operatives training and they have DRILLED her on WHAT to say.

    NOW she will come off as the “Champion” of the Academically Downtrodden. She provided “Customized Educational Opportunities” to students who were brilliant but did not have time to go to class or could not read or whatever. No Attorney comes up with THAT phrase. It is a WELL CRAFTED and Highly Paid PR Consultant….and I suspect it came from the UNC Crowd…

    UNC has also taken away her “Scartlett C” trappings and she is now allowed back in the commune.

    The Roo Theory (No, I am NOT a conspiracy advocate) is that with Deborah’s cooperation, she can “provide plausible denialability” to many of the allegations in the Wainstein report. Thus, that will “soften it up a bit”. So, there will be some “Reasonable Doubt” and the NCAA will render a less severe penalty.

    Is Deborah getting HUSH money from the Rams Club? Will she be a candidate for an Academy Award? IF she can work in the name TRUMP into her explanation….it is a SHOE IN…

    So, in the end….it is a gamble….but if there is any substance or coverage….wonder HOW the ESPN (UNC Grad President) SPIN will be.

    Back to the SEARCH…in BOTH cases….Desperate TIMES calls for DESPERATE MEASURES….

    TexPack,

    I hope you did not think that I was plagurizing your posts or taking credit for them. I DO try to read all the posts and go back. That N&O article was a summary that was of interest to me and not every poster here has an N&O tab on their browser.

    I was talking about the N&O article being an expansion of my post on the search. I didn’t think that comment actually got posted either as I was having WiFi issues last night at the house.

    I’ve never gotten the Joe Biden vibe from anybody on this board. Everybody on here loves the Pack, hates the Holes, and believes we can exercise our constitutionally guaranteed “pursuit of happiness” by trying to win championships in basketball. Any fights we have amongst ourselves are just good family squabbles and no offense is ever taken by me. Things are going to get better for Wolfpack basketball.

    So I’m hearing Martin, if true, is being offered 3.5M/yr for 5 yrs to take the Missouri gig. That seems like a LOT of case for Martin.

    I do’t understand why so many posters are listing Wade as number 2 and Keatts 3. What about Holtmann? The guy can coach and I think is a realistic pickup if we don’t get Archie.

    I like Holtmann just a tad more than Wade and hoped they were 2A and 2B. Felt better about that a week ago.

    the carousel has finally turned…
    “Cuonzo Martin has agreed to 7-year deal with Missouri, source told ESPN. Done deal.”
    who wants to coach at Cal?

    BJD is that because of how well Butler did in the tourney or something else.

    I honestly dunno what happened with the “middle tier” but it seems to be eroding beneath our feet. But who knows, stuff changes quickly.

    Good pickup for Mizzou, given their rung in the food chain. It would be damned embarrassing for them to make a better hire than NC State, wouldn’t it??

    Good solid hire for Mizzouso in the span of five years Martin goes from Missouri State to Tennessee to Cal to Mizzou. Wow.

    Taking things WAY off topic, this Champions League tie between Monaco and Man City is bananas.

    So now Illinois is rumored to be making an offer of 4.8 MILLION for Bennett. I have a feeling State will be shopping at Big Lots for a coach. I just don’t think our admin has the nuts to pony up over 3M for a coach.

    Price of poker going up, we should play or go back to the SoCon.

    BJDs comment that tier 2 is eroding is not the best news I’ve heard today. Can someone say why in the world Bennett would consider going to Illinois? I don’t see that happening.

    Don’t know the politics behind the scenes but let’s say we offered 3.9M for a coach, would the BOG approve?

    It makes no sense to me either

    I don’t think Bennett can do much more at Illinois than he has done @ Uva. But who knows.

    I have always thought Bennett would end up in the Big 10. I just never thought it’d be Illinois. If that’s where he wants to be, Bloomington sounds about right.

    Post poofed.

    Edited version: Is State a stepping stone job or a destination job?
