After N.C. State’s 97-73 home loss to North Carolina, Wolfpack coach Mark Gottfried went through his normal post-game routine and went back out onto the court for his radio show.
A handful of N.C. State fans waited for him. After he spoke for about 5 minutes he walked into the tunnel at PNC Arena back to his press conference with the media.
“Go back to ESPN,” one disgruntled N.C. State fan yelled at the sixth-year coach.
Gottfried’s night started the same way. When his name was introduced before the game, he was booed by large pockets of the capacity crowd.
