I know there's been loads of talk here in New Orleans about the UNO head coach going to NC State...

Towe is gone, I can almost guarantee that

NC State is trying to load up on experience, since Lowe doesn't have any college head coach experience

It is true about Pete. I think there is a link we put up earlier this week on our site.

Uhhh yea he's just uhhh great....NOT.

He was roughly 70-140 here. He is not good, proven unsuccessful. I wish him luck, but don't expect a lot.

[MarkCCU]

Yes, he's horrible. everything that bodoyle said is true. he's not very good at his job

[rokamortis]

I think Pete is a good assistant, wasn't a good head coach at Coastal. He recruited quality guys that were good students. I think part, not all, of his problem may have been lack of resources. They basically doubled his salary hiring Buzz not to mention adding staff and paying them better than the guys Pete had.

Yeah, Pete should do a good job as an assistant and recruiter. As a head coach, he didn't do much other than recruit most of the players CCU had take us to within two points of March Madness under Buzz. I wish him well.

That is the word around Raleigh, that he has a pretty good recruiting reputation and a good pipeline around the DC area
