He was going to be fired last year if NCSt hadn’t made the tournament.

This is one of the reasons I have McCollum at the top of my wish list. 12 straight conference titles. 4 nattys. He didn’t just have a good couple weeks once or twice.

That seems to be one of the biggest check marks in all the other most mentioned candidates. None of them have consistently won games the way McCollum has.

I get the step up to P4 concern. But the “what if it does translate…” possibilities are so good, that its dwarfs the “what if it doesn’t translate” possibilities. If it doesn’t, we’ll have a good, smart basketball coach leading us for a handful of years. He’ll probably have more success than our last two coaches even if he struggles with the talent level step up. But if does…man…

So worth it.

Is Woodrow next?

Yes, but they fired him before that FF run, then had a change of heart because of the run they made. Just goes to show that it’s about the body of work, not a 4 game hot streak in the ncaa tourney. NC State played it all wrong and you had to know they’d be right back here again.

If I'm NC State, I'm calling Bob Richie from Furman.

 

[TR32]

Maybe next call is Ryan Odem.

 

[GThomas]

Dear NC State AD,

I know a guy who will be available soon.

Will Wade will be in the mix. The Pack is in a tough spot, playing 3rd banana for so long, with two high profile programs right in their own neighborhood. Even if they get the top 3 or 4 kids in state, rivals UNC and certainly Duke, just go get 3-5 of the top 40 guys nationally, pretty much every year. Recruiting-wise, big disadvantage, so need a guy who can both recruit and X and O.
