Mark Gottfried’s Custom Shoes
Mark Gottfried was awfully proud of the new custom shoes that Adidas made for him. But in typical NC State fashion, they managed to screw it up by making them both hideously ugly, and by using a version of the block S logo that was replaced over 10 years ago.

N.C. State adds Whittenburg to Gottfired’s coaching staff
Harmless typo or Freudian slip? The Winston-Salem Journal made an unfortunate spelling error while reporting about the hiring of Dereck Whittenburg to the basketball coaching staff at NC State.
Whittenberg most recently coached at Fordham from 2003-2010, where he led the Rams to a stellar 69-121 record. However he is most famous for his airball in the 1983 NCAA Championship game, which led to Lorenzo Charles’ game winning dunk.
He was hired to the position of Senior Assistant Head Coach Senior Assistant TO the Head Coach.
UCLA Interested in Gottfried?
Shoutout to trumpetbutt on IC for the photoshop job
If this is true and the UCLA boosters really want Gottfried, it would be a headscratcher. They fired Howland for doing exactly what Gottfried has done this year (and everywhere he’s been): underachieve with a talented team. Also there is Gottfried’s “amorous” reputation to consider – a reputation one packpride moderator referred to as “the worst kept secret in Raleigh”.
