I’m not a safe hire either.
I’d have taken the job for 400 k, thrown pig pickings all over the state, burned K and huckleberry in effigy, and moved the team back to Reynolds.
Might not have won much but it would have been fun and not safe. We would play defense until the blood flowed, I can promise you that.

Perspectives are appreciated gentlemen. I’ve been trying to figure out the angle and it appears to be related to a culture issue and looking for cheap.
I figured to supply them with a “solve for x” situation because frankly I’ve grown tired of thinking about it.
A bit pissed as well.

The only thing that beats a swimming title is getting a swimming title while I’m drinking a Michelob Ultra.

This is the hiring-firing person.
A little too nice, too friendly then send me out the door with an offer but no compensation package.
McCallum
Correct me here me but Valvano’s tactics CAUSED the bonus to be introduced. It was 1 and 1 after a certain number of fouls but it stayed 1 and 1 thus INCREASING the probability of a team gaining by fouling.
Somewhere el deano was behind that change.
Big Putin fan here BTW. Putin cleaned Russia up, kicked out the American led NGOs, crushed the speculators, and generally has been a pain in the a$$ of the most meddling, morally corrupt government in the history of the planet and that would be inclusive bathroom USA.

As long as it’s Michelob Ultra then okay.
I need to watch my carbs when I am whipping folks born in the 40s-50s.
1940s-1950s in your case.

I’m stayin’ put right here on the veranda in Arizona, morally corrupt, drinking, smoking, and flirting with all my friends’ wives.
Martinis are like women’s breasts, 1 is not enough and 3 are too many.

State is a phase in some people’s lives.
Nothing more, nothing less.
It is what you want it to be.
I’m going to crack open a Michelob Ultra and call my buddy in Fresno. I want hear what Elle was wearing last night and where it was waded up on the floor this morning.

edit omg I’m on the same page as McCallum.. someone help me
You have come far grasshopper.
Now try to take the stone from my hand.

A few things to keep in mind:
1) There was only one Valvano. He had the right combination of talent at a specific point in time and achieved something legendary. That 83 run was improbable but he is special because of that and the double tragedy that enveloped him and the program. The betrayal by certain forces inside and outside the institution have enhanced him to Homeric status.
2) I probably should have died in Pennsylvania in July of 1863 but living attached to the past, especially in a Greek tragedy manner is useless. Because Miller wore a State uniform is meaningless but to the attached mind it invokes a link which has no empirical basis for success.
3) Perception is reality. It is doubly important in the minds of the young and impressionable. State has a history of apathy in most sports. The cheap short cuts of the university has turned off the alumni and given the school “also ran” status to the young and impressionable. Reality is perception.
4) Want to see good basketball? Watch the Wisconsin-Villanova game, hard play, good defense and reaching a high level.
Wisconsin would be a sports program to emulate. Small state with limited talent in state but a good series of hires that result in teams that compete at a high level despite talent.
5) Leave Miller be. You can’t always go home and that is a good thing.
6) These spicy noodles are excellent.

Raised in an age of AAU ball, run and gun.
Short shelf life at Louisville with one of the biggest scum bags in basketball.
He knows the ends and outs of talent and recruiting talent.
Expect State to be long on talent and short on defense.
Defense is the measure of toughness.

Archie is his own man.
He has cut his own path.
He owes nothing to the folks in Raleigh.
Who cares?
Plus he’d need a few phone books to stand on to suck it.

McCallum is just jealous that Summer Erb gave me the time of day and introduced me to many of her friends, he was stuck with Jack the drunk next to the bowling alley, can you say Hep C!!
Hank the drunk, Hank.
I’ve never tested positive for Hep C though drinking after a Hillborough Street drunk (he was drinking King Cobra) was not the wisest thing I’ve done.
McCallum
*be honest. You are out drinking, having fun, telling jokes and Mitches is closing down. You’ve been foaming at the mouth looking at the chic from Cerro Gordo most of the night, Mitch is an a$$hole and tells you to get out.
You stumble down the steps, Hank yells at you to share a drink and offers you a brown paper bag.
Everyone one of you is a liar if you say you wouldn’t have done so.
