Best Of The SB Nation Network: April 6, 2011
College Sports
- N.C. State hired former Alabama coach Mark Gottfried yesterday, but the school inexplicably allowed the news to be overshadowed by AD Debbie Yow’s claim that the coaching search was sabotaged by Maryland head basketball coach Gary Williams. Terrapin blog Testudo Times finds it amusing that Yow made the statement with Gottfried sitting right next her. BC Interruption is not impressed with either the hire or Yow’s handling of it.
