There was obviously a lot of speculation on if NC State would pull the trigger on coach Mark Gottfried after a loss to North Carolina.
It hasn't happened this morning, but it isn't off the table and could come this afternoon or by Friday morning. This running debate could happen on a game-by-game basis coming up since emotions have been running high for a few weeks.
Obviously, no good way to end this thing, but there are some subtle things between keeping him or not. Assistant coaches Heath Schroyer or Orlando Early would be the interim coach if they accept the responsibility, but then all the assistant coaches will be trying to line up their next job in the mean time, and plan to uproot their families if need be.
In terms of the inevitable coaching search, it won't get really going until coaches lose in the NIT Tournament or NCAA Tournament in mid-to-late March.
