Debbie Yow's letter to NCSU


The Epic

Recommended Posts

God bless you, NC State, for taking her off of our hands.

Hey, everyone who is trying to say that the Maryland situation can't get worse? I would advise reading through that thread a bit. Those are some broken-down fans, there.

I don't think a lot of people say things couldn't get worse. I think there are a lot of people who say that "things could get worse" is a bad reason for accepting sustained mediocrity.

But I will say good riddance. to Mrs. Yow. Getting rid of her is looking better and better all the time.

It can't get an better then when it first happened. Easily the best decision that this school has made since hiring Gary.

Except that it wasn't UM's decision to get rid of her. We have our friends in Raleigh to thank for that....otherwise, she's probably still mucking up the works in College Park.

True, my fault. She was on the way out with the administration. The Terrapin Club was completely fed up with her.

She is now accusing Gary of sabotaging the NC State coaching search, which he probably did. Could not get more awesome. NC State sucks.

Well to be fair, if I was forced into hiring a guy fired for taking Alabama from an SEC contender to nothing (I can only assume Pat Kennedy turned them down) and who hasn't had a job in two years, I would be lashing out at any scapegoat I could find too.

More on Debbie...Gary is out to destroy NCST!

“I don’t have a reputation across all men’s basketball as being difficult to work with,” Yow told chuckling reporters. “I have a reputation of not getting along with Gary Williams, who has tried to sabotage the search. C’mon. We all know that. Okay? So, whatever. It’s not a reputation, it’s Gary Williams out there doing his thing. Whatever.”

[Oops. I somehow missed that this story had already been posted a few posts up.]

Gary didn't have to do anything to destroy NC State that their batpoop crazy fans and inept administration hadn't already done. Her inability to get along with Gary, and subsequent attempts to fire him on at least one, if not more, occasions, is well documented. Gary didn't have to go out of his way to talk about those issues. Yow has shown her colors as someone less than loyal to her troops. She merely looks like a petty fool in all of this. Gary has his issues. But so does she.

Did you see video of the press conference? It was awesome. Gottfried was sitting right there next to her while she said that she didn't want to hire him but had no choice because Gary "sabbotaged" her search. Wow. Can he resign yet? How can she have a job?

Gottfried didn't take Alabama from an SEC contender to nothing. He took us to 5 straight tourneys and an Elite Eight. He had some tough years at the end, but he's not some program destroyer.

    • Works for me,  as long as the first piece is a Norby type!  Only one of Ortiz/Westburg/Cowser/Kjerstad should be traded for Cease.  Let them pick one of them and a couple in the 8-15 range then a lottery pick or two if needed.  But giving up 2 of those is to pricy for the return.  I like Cease, but personally value him as a very solid #3 starter.  Sure, he COULD perform better than that,  but I wouldn't bet on it.  Maybe he reverts back to his 2022 form, but I think it more likely that what we get is what we saw from him in 2023, with an improvement in numbers due to the defense behind him. 
    • Exited about this kid and the future of our international signings. We have to remember the initial reporting don’t mean a whole lot. We’ve had success in the 100-500 k range too.
    • Downtown restaurants should like this too.  Much better for any local entertainment venues.
    • Cease is a solid MLB starting pitcher with 2 years of control  who's team has clearly made it known that he's available.  Of course there is a lot of interest.  There is a lot of interest in the Orioles' prospects, as well.  Fans of both teams are hopeful that their team will get maximum value for their assets in any trade.  I'm sure that it is sometimes difficult for GMs to reach a meeting of the minds on a player's value, in which case they need to work out a restructure of the discussed deal that may not include that player.  I think Elias' opinion on Ortiz is likely to be pretty close to what posters on this site are telling you.  If the White Sox GM views Ortiz as you do, it would seem that a deal between the two teams would most likely not have Ortiz included.  I'm sure that isn't all that unusual and the GMs just turn the page and look at working out a trade involving other players/prospects.  What confuses me is that you seem to rate Ortiz lower than we do and lower than the various sites rate him, but would like a trade of Cease for Cowser and Ortiz.  I'm against that deal because I think 2 prospects rated that highly would be an overpay.  It seems to me, you agree.  You simply rate Ortiz lower.  Seems to me that the answer in such an impasse that would make both parties happy would be to replace Ortiz with another prospect that is lower rated than Ortiz -- which would be of equal value in your mind, since you rate Ortiz lower and still think the proposed trade is a fair one.  Make sense?  Maybe replace Ortiz with Norby.
    • I would definitely do Westburg  and Cowser.
    • 100% agree with you.  Especially when you haves waves of prospects coming up behind these guys.
