Herb Sendek seems to have found some happiness out in the dessert. He has his Arizona State team poised for an NCAA tournament run. Back in Raleigh, Sidney Lowe and the Wolfpack of North Carolina State are battling for last place in the ACC. Do you think they miss Herb now. Just another example of a weak athletic director allowing a good coach to get run out of town. This is a nice tribute.
The first coach they ran out was Jim Valvano after he won a national title. The NCAA came in and investigated and found nothing. But a weak administratyion back then gave him his walking papers. When are athletic administrators going to have backbone.
Speaking of backbone, the only athletic director I can remember who stood up for his coach was Larry Keating. He was the AD at Seton Hall when his President told him to fire PJ Carlesimo. He refused and within two years Carlesimo had the Pirates in the championship game. Way to go Larry. Oh, by the way he lost his job over it.
