Quote Based on the timing of events, such as when the recruit committed to N.C. State and when he entered the NBA draft, the athlete described in the FBI documents is believed to be Dennis Smith Jr., a point guard who played one season at N.C. State under coach Mark Gottfried from 2016-17 before heading to the NBA draft. "Parent-1" is believed to be Smith's father, Dennis Smith Sr. When asked about the FBI's indictment on Wednesday, Smith declined to talk about it but said he was not worried about the situation, according to the Dallas Morning News. Identifying “Coach-4” isn’t as easy. Gottfried was N.C. State’s head coach in September, October and December 2015, periods of time spelled out under "Allegations Related to North Carolina State University" portion in the FBI's latest indictment. Orlando Early was an assistant coach at N.C. State from 2011 until he, along with Gottfried, were fired in February 2017. Gottfried and Early were heavily involved in the recruitment of Smith. http://www.newsobserver.com/sports/college/acc/nc-state/state-now/article208585254.html Edited April 13, 2018 by GSG 1 Quote Link to comment

That doesn't mean he's incapable of doing so or assembling a staff that would be great at it. Likewise, I understand he has been a head coach in the NBA. That doesn't mean he's capable of doing the same at Nebraska, or assembling a quality staff that would be great at coaching college basketball. 2 hours ago, seaofred92 said: This notion that he's incapable of running a college program because he's never done it before it just stupid in my opinion. Nobody has stated factually that he is incapable. People have expressed skepticism, because there are no data points and sometimes people require evidence to believe things will be true. 2 hours ago, seaofred92 said: Lastly- this idea that Lue would have no idea how to evaluate HS talent or would have difficulty recruiting is a complete assumption on your end. More or less of an assumption than assuming that he would be a good college coach at his alma mater because he's done good coaching the Cleveland Cavaliers? You're assuming a claim without evidence. Others are assuming skepticism in the face of no evidence. One is wishful thinking, one is pragmatic. 15 hours ago, seaofred92 said: my take is if Avery Johnson can be successful at Alabama then Tyronn Lue can be successful at Nebraska. Cool. My take is that your take is completely meaningless, because I could easily counter with, "my take is if Eddie Jordan failed so miserably at Rutgers then Tyronn Lue will also fail at Nebraska." 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm not sure if he would be successful in college at all. He could be great. I'm not even sure if he would be successful in the NBA without Lebron James. LBJ has made a number of mediocre coaches look much better than their capabilities. The NBA game, from a coaching standpoint, is night and day different than college. Lebagg is the one controlling the puppet of Lou. He might be a good pro coach but I don't think he'd be very good at recruiting at all. Who wants to play for the guy that got stepped over by AI?

huskerfan333157 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I'm pretty sure the cavs went 9 1 when Lue didn't coach them this year yet they've struggled with him coaching. I think Nebraska fans are either overrating Lue or don't pay much attention to the NBA. 1 Quote Link to comment

Amazing to me how many people are so quick to discredit Lue's accomplishments, mostly because ironically they don't want the NBA Quote Link to comment

They won because green got suspended and i believe the warriors had a few injuries. 3. If he was such a great coach then how did Larry Drew go 9-1 with that same team this year? Even die-hard Cleveland fans doesn't think he's a good coach. Just because he's a Nebraska boy doesn't automatically mean he's great. I'll trust Cleveland's fans opinions (who watch night in and night out) over someone that doesn't pay close attention to them. 1 Quote Link to comment

huskerfan333157 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 A great coach wouldn't allow a team that has oladipo and Turner as their star players to challenge them in a series... Quote Link to comment
Cdog923 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 There's only one reason that someone could legitimately want Ty Lue coaching at Nebraska, and it isn't his coaching acumen. 2 Quote Link to comment

seaofred92 Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/23659954/cleveland-cavaliers-coach-tyronn-lue-reveals-being-treated-anxiety Quote Feeling better and healthier nearly two months after taking a medical leave of absence, Cleveland Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue said he has been getting treatment for anxiety. Lue had been having chest pains and occasionally coughing up blood when he left the team in March. He was unable to coach the second half in several games before stepping away to deal with the issue. A diet change and medication have helped him. "I'm glad it wasn't anything serious," Lue told ESPN's Rachel Nichols in an exclusive interview. "Just anxiety, and the medication I'm on is great. No more chest pains, so everything's been great." Lue had a battery of tests in the months leading up to his decision in mid-March to step away, and it was determined his symptoms were, in part, the result of anxiety. During the two weeks Lue was away, he was able to get some rest, make lifestyle changes and begin a medication routine that helped reduce some of the stress. "I think for the first time in my career, 20 years, I had a chance to focus on me. It wasn't as bad as people thought it was. But I did have some chest pains for the last couple of years. And I was just trying to be able to get through it not knowing what was wrong with me," Lue told Nichols. "So the two weeks I took off, just finally had a chance to focus on myself and change my diet. Hired a chef. Stopped drinking as many Shirley Temples. And stopped with the sweets and got back to taking care of myself. Now I feel great." 1 Quote Link to comment
