It makes sense. Beating your old coach can be embarrassing for both sides. Pitino only scheduled us when Keatts was here when the two teams were safely far apart, and only did so for one game. Roy scheduled us for 4 but had to know there was a low likelihood CB would beat him.
Right now, even with the roster turnover we might have, NC State isn't safely above us enough to justify a series or even a single buy game.
I do wish we did what VCU always put in the contracts with their coaches: A clause stating that, if/when the coach moved on to another job on his own volition, he had to schedule a home-and-home 2-game series with VCU starting the season he moved on. VCU got some decent games with Oklahoma, Alabama and Texas that way after the departures of Capel, Anthony Grant and Shaka Smart.
While i generally agree, if State did a 1 year deal, it's highly unlikely we'd beat them next year with that class coming in. The VCU approach is a solid one didn't realize they did that.
