Tough to say, really. It speaks to the futility of existence, but other than that, it\u2019s tough to come to any substantial conclusions. <\/p>\n<p id=\"UvLsMI\">In the modern era, which I\u2019m defining as Herb right up until now, everyone not named Sidney Lowe has made a positive impact right away\u2014you\u2019d expect this out of any coaching change, obviously. Any coaching change not made by Lee Fowler, I mean.<\/p>\n<p>    Modern Era Coaches<\/p>\n<tr>\n<p>          Coach<\/p>\n<p>          Year 1 Rtg<\/p>\n<p>          Rating Change<\/p>\n<p>          Win Change<\/p>\n<p>          Win Change<\/p>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<p>          Coach<\/p>\n<p>          Year 1 Rtg<\/p>\n<p>          Rating Change<\/p>\n<p>          Win Change<\/p>\n<p>          Win Change<\/p>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Herb Sendek<\/td>\n<td>26<\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sidney Lowe<\/td>\n<td>75<\/td>\n<td>-45<\/td>\n<td>-2<\/td>\n<td>-5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mark Gottfried<\/td>\n<td>43<\/td>\n<td>44<\/td>\n<td>9<\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Kevin Keatts<\/td>\n<td>46<\/td>\n<td>63<\/td>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Will Wade<\/td>\n<td>38 (proj)<\/td>\n<td>78 (proj)<\/td>\n<td>???<\/td>\n<td>???<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<p id=\"Uw6cOg\">(*Rtg = KenPom, except in Wade\u2019s case, I\u2019m using Torvik since Ken hasn\u2019t released preseason ratings.) <\/p>\n<p id=\"fMt06M\">Mark Gottfried and Kevin Keatts both took the disasters left to them and made the NCAA tournament in year one, an impressive accomplishment. Both ended up washing out in unpleasant runs of incompetence, and they either got the school in NCAA hot water for several years or spent several years using that as an excuse. Both were known, but inexpensive, quantities. <\/p>\n<p id=\"Lo8wYs\">Will Wade is operating within an entirely different paradigm, which thankfully doesn\u2019t involve Lee Fowler but does involve scouts from the Oklahoma City Thunder. The change ahead is going to be substantial, and perhaps unprecedented. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Historically speaking, what does regime change for NC State basketball tell us about the program\u2019s immediate prospects and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":37325,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[190,5350,30316,1339,10779,1542,204,30315,1412,24687,17878,30317,1317,1337,1338,12123,62,290,448,67,132,68,1628],"class_list":{"0":"post-37324","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-basketball","8":"tag-a","9":"tag-at","10":"tag-backing","11":"tag-basketball","12":"tag-coaches","13":"tag-exclude-from-stn-video","14":"tag-front-page","15":"tag-historical","16":"tag-in","17":"tag-look","18":"tag-nc","19":"tag-nc-state-basketball","20":"tag-ncaa","21":"tag-ncaa-basketball","22":"tag-ncaabasketball","23":"tag-pack","24":"tag-sports","25":"tag-state","26":"tag-the","27":"tag-united-states","28":"tag-unitedstates","29":"tag-us","30":"tag-year"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37324","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37324"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37324\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37325"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
