Time for another mid-season resignation?
I can’t believe I missed an hour of sleep for this.
Oh well, will watch again Sunday…had thought of going to game. I would rather not burn the gas to get there.
And too much latency on my posts.
Good grief. As someone else said…a clinic on what not to do. 2 games in a row.
Don’t worry Gott, there will still be enough games left for us to squeak in as a 12 seed.
Ugh. “Slight” swelling??
Here’s a hint, if you can see it a few seconds later it ain’t slight.
We can’t get a call.
BJD – sometimes your strengths lead to weaknesses.
Gott is very supportive of the key guys in rotation for the most part and rarely pulls them. They can dog it on D, not box out, make bone-headed plays and stay in the game.
OK. I have seen a certain player make several mental errors a d pay selfishly and he just keeps on logging minutes.
We are one frustrating team to watch.
The fast break sequences were awful. Bad shots, Mental errors and layups available for anyone willing to work for them.
Tau – one thing about the relative parity and prevalence of $$ in college sports is that a lot of attractive program have had to settle.
In football, LSU, Clemson, UGa, and both USC’s didn’t exactly hire name coaches. Pitt Gott a Gott without the baggage in Stallings, ga tech is hiring a new coach every 6 years and even ucla had to settle for a retread.
I would love for us to end up with a miller or Marshall. Sadly,we probably could have had a Krueger or larannnaga or Belein. Oh well.
What would we do without our faith, family, jobs and booze.
I love how people make assumptions.
Who knows what Clemson would have done after our game. The loss to Pitt appears to have lit a fire.
And please, I know empathy is a rare emotion on the interweb- but think of our kicker as your son, brother or grandchild. Then again, perhaps some folks are incapable of this.
Wilkins appears to be using “I’m just a nut job” defense.
If you haven’t seen his post game split, it’s hilarious.
This group of guys are genuinely excited and happy. Man, I would love to see the same joy on our players faces.
Boulware went to my sister’s high school in Anderson. It’s about 15 minutes from Clemson. Turn Raleigh into a pure state town and imagine a kid idolizing and dreaming of cutting down the nets for Nc state and never being able to imagine it elsewhere and then doing it.
Awesome.
Bjd – good call on the beating Watson took. Incredible guts showed by the tigers.
Amazing, if Clemson can climb this mountain again in football…
Tau – one thing should be certain. If we hire a guy with a mixed track record at his last stop – and we see the same trends here – perhaps we should expect it to end like his stop.
I don’t think Gott was a horrid hire. Especially when you consider the fact that evidently Yow has a toxic reputation in Men’s basketball coaching corners… However, you better have done your homework on him and you better see evidence that something changed from last stop… Unless you believe it was a non-basketball related issue(s) that caused the meltdown.
Looking at his record, I think without the personal stuff he would have been allowed to finish up the season, but he was strongly trending in the wrong direction.
Rye – I gotta go with Tau with this, we were down by 2 with the ball with less than a minute to go vs Kansas.
Regardless, I don’t see us truly “building” with Gott. While he is good coach, his teams start slow and the result is that these teams are mentally spent by the time the tournaments that determine championships are played. Perhaps, he would do better in the NBA where everyone pretty much plays the same amount of games in the post-season.
However, the fact that his teams have done solid in the first round of two only to falter when a serious disparity exists in almost every year should tell him and Debbie that banners are highly unlikely no matter how good of a coach you think he is.
My only point is that starting from where we were, we had to get to this point in order to get to the next point and everybody knew, I think, it wasn’t going to be overnight…
It’s taken six long years to steadily work out from under the inherited mess and to get seven kids with high potential and little or no college experience on the Team as a real nucleus for the next 2 or 3 years.
And that’s not to say that mistakes have not been made and side steps have not been taken. They have.
Just that ain’t nobody jumping off the ship or the roof over one game.
Bill – And I would be more likely to subscribe to that mindset if Gott didn’t have 10 other years at Alabama. In his second year here, he failed to build on an excellent first year start. In all 5 years, we have seen mediocre defense and poor defensive rebounding.
I seriously doubt these will change and thus, I believe we have seen Gott’s ceiling. This year will likely prove it.
Roy has how many final 4s…how many does Gott have? Subtract whatever Roy has and you get Gott’s #.
If Roy ain’t the sharpest knife and he’s what vs Gott? Never mind he is doing pretty well with an ongoing scandal. Sorry, Roy is a Top 10. Gott is 30-40 (of P5 coaches.)
Here’s a fun game, what’s Gott’s piece de resistance? You know where his team put everything together. The man has 16 seasons, you should be able to say, this is what h can do when given the proper resources and luck.
Botb – if he is top 40…which is debatable… he is clearly within the 30-40 range and I imagine it’s a list that is limited to P5 schools. He is clearly better than Les and Sidney. As for his ceiling, sadly I think Sendek’s was higher.
But let’s face it. Top 30-40 is selling NC State basketball short. We don’t play basketball in that palace – regardless of whether or not it is shared- to be an 8 or worse seed 4 out of every 5 years. Gott basketball is like V ball without the banners….and that’s the BEST you can say about it.
