Roy and K both have had health issues in recent years that have caused them to miss a little time. I think State knew that when they hired Keatts.

Historically, State doesn't give coaches much more than 5 years, so he better hope they do.

The last eight coaches:

Coach Seasons
Everett Case. 17
Press Maravich 2
Norm Sloan. 14
Jim Valvano 10
Les Robinson 7
Herb Sendek 11
Sydney Lowe. 4
Mark Gottfried. 6

The last 20 years only Herb got significantly more than 5, and he got ran off after having a pretty good amount of success.

For the record.....AND to stick with the theme of busting your balls, Herb Sendek left NC State on his own free will and accord to accept the Arizona State job. History tells us that he wasn't able to live up to the Sun Devils expectations either, and he was subsequently fired after 8-9 seasons there.

Gonna have to disagree there. He wasn't exactly getting favorable treatment and was pushed out. Sometimes you don't have to be fired to realize you're not wanted. State fans didn't like him. Their mentality was "Sure, you get us to the tourney and we're good but you can't beat UNC and Duke. You gotta go." After that, they turned to a coach that was a player during their glory years in efforts to restoke that ability to compete for a national championship. It didn't work out. Turned into a ginormous mess, and here we are. Point of the story, is that Sendek was a good coach that just caught a raw deal from delusional NC State.

But hey... let's not let all this distract us from a big time rivalry matchup for us tomorrow night vs ezu. Speaking of delusional. I sent my pirate loving brother a not so loving text earlier.
