Let me say this right at the outset, because I am every bit as guilty as anyone else at getting caught up within the results of any one game: I was angry about the outcome on Wednesday, and it felt like Mark Gottfried’s tenure was suddenly over, on top of the world just completely collapsing on top of itself***.).
(***Didn’t say my emotions derive anything from facts.)
***That’s how I work, and it’s not fair, but I deal as best I can. I like Mark Gottfried. I think the players like Mark Gottfried. I have really, really wanted Mark Gottfried to work out well in Raleigh because I think he is a fantastic antagonist to the dullards in Chapel Hill and Durham.
